About this title

Book Description:

Particulate Matter Science for Policy Makers: A NARSTO Assessment is a concise and comprehensive discussion of the current understanding of airborne particulate matter (PM). The volume provides policy makers who implement air-quality standards with relevant and needed scientific information. Policy development and revision is an ongoing process, and scientific understanding is continually improving. This assessment describes current science in a manner that reflects the needs of policy makers in addressing current and anticipated standards.

About the Author:

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.
