Abstract

Submicron- and nano-particles suspended in a gas or air form an aerosol. Aerosol particles are involved with many practical problems such as environmental pollution, contamination in microelectronics and pharmaceutical cleanrooms, pulmonary edema and carcinogenicity, and applications such as aerosolized drug delivery. The major aim of this project is to acquire instruments to enhance education programs and research capabilities in aerosols science and technology. The acquired equipment is the major contributor to the Aerosol Laboratory. It substantially enhances the laboratory’s scope of experimental capability.
