Abstract
ALTHOUGH the experimental techniques are available, limited effort has been made to characterize physically and chemically the particulate emissions from air pollution sources with respect to particle size, total surface area and chemical composition, If the potential to affect human health, property or atmospheric reactions or visibility of the particulate pollution, present in urban atmospheres, is to be evaluated, the nature of the contribution from each source will have to be more fully understood than at present. In this study, we focused on the characterization of particulates in a diesel engine exhaust.
