Solutions for the size & concentration measurement of aerosols from combustion

Abstract

Currently the main pollution comes from the anthropogenic sources related to residential heating and combustion. Most of the emitted particles from this sources are in the mode below 1 μm. Therefore, only by using methods based on the electric mobility separation and size enhancement we can measure the size and concentration of this particles from nano to ultrafine sizes. This contribution describes the most recent methods how to study particle size and concentration of the particles coming from combustion sources.
