Practical Aerosol Science - A short course in aerosol theory and measurement
A 3-day course in practical aerosol science is being run between 8th and 10th June, at the University of Manchester. The course aims to deliver an introductory understanding of the challenges faced with aerosol measurements. Sampling ambient particles can be extremely challenging and answering a simple question like 'how big is the particle' depends on what instrument was used to measure it. The ...

Identifying Particulate Matter Pollution Hazards in Businesses and Institutions throughout Puerto Rico
There are many industries across Puerto Rico and the Caribbean that expose workers to elevated levels of particulate matter, also known as PM. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) describes particulate matter as a mixture of solid particles and liquid droplets found in the air. Some particles, such as dust, dirt, soot or smoke, are large or dark enough to be seen with the naked eye. ...

Spray drift reduction is goal of proposed ASTM pesticides standard
Regulatory agencies may soon require buffer zones around sprayed farm fields. A proposed ASTM International standard will be used to measure the drift reduction performance of tank mix adjuvants designed to reduce spray drift during the application of pesticides. Farmers can decrease the size of these buffer zones by using these adjuvants. ASTM WK27419, Test Method for Characterization of ...

Can rain clean the atmosphere?
Original story at MIT News As a raindrop falls through the atmosphere, it can attract tens to hundreds of tiny aerosol particles to its surface before hitting the ground. The process by which droplets and aerosols attract is coagulation, a natural phenomenon that can act to clear the air of pollutants like soot, sulfates, and organic particles. Atmospheric chemists at MIT have now determined ...

Sources of Building Occupant Exposure to Indoor Particulate Matter in Puerto Rico
A new webpage was recently published by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that shares information about common sources of indoor particulate matter (PM). EPA reports that the agency is especially concerned about tiny particles that are 10 micrometers in diameter or smaller as they can be inhaled deep into the lungs where they can cause serious health effects, including decreased lung ...
