Short description
This title details the science behind airborne particles. From pollen to auto exhaust to ozone-destroying fluorocarbons to the technology behind coating microchips and building fiber optics, airborne particles affect the lives of everyone on the planet. The first edition of Hinds's Aerosol Technology appeared in 1982 when aerosol science was a relatively new field. Since the publication of this early, pioneering work, a great deal of research and development has been done in aerosols across a broad range of application areas, including the use of aerosols in high technology material processing and the administration of therapeutic drugs, an increased awareness of bioaerosols, aerosol contamination in microelectronics manufacturing, and the effect of aerosols on global climate. The expansion of the field, both in technology and the number of scientists involved, has created the need to update and expand the original book.
