Total Aerosol Volume Computed from Laser Spectrometer Particle-Size Data for Comparison with Flame Photometer Total-Mass Data

摘要

A computer program that converts laser spectrometer (LAS-X) particle-size data to total aerosol volume has been developed. Sources of errors and uncertainties in LAS-X data have been evaluated. Because aerosol volume is directly proportional to mass, the derived aerosol volumes can be compared with sodium chloride (NaCl) aerosol-mass data from a flame photometer. (Author)
