Críticas:

'... concise and comprehensive discussion of the current understanding of airborne particulate matter ... The technical quality of the book is very good. A lot of flow diagrams, schemes, tables, figures and images support the information content ... It is really necessary as information source for each policy maker but also for each library of research institutes.' Meteorologische Zeitschrift

Biografía del autor:

Peter H. McMurry is the Kenneth T. Whitby Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Minnesota, where he has served as Department Head since 1977. He is a past President of the American Association for Aerosol Research. His research focuses on phenomena including nucleation, growth, water uptake, and light scattering. With his research colleagues he has developed a condensation nucleus counter to detect particles as small as 3 nm, aerodynamic lenses to produce tightly collimated particle beams, and instruments to measure particle properties that include density, refractive index, and water content. He has written recent review articles on atmospheric aerosol measurement and nucleation.
