Reviewing many technological applications together with the current scientific status of aerosol modelling and measurements, this book includes: Satellite aerosol remote sensing; The effects of aerosols on climate change; Air pollution and health; Pharmaceutical aerosols and pulmonary drug delivery; Bioaerosols and hospital infections; Particle emissions from vehicles; The safety of emerging nanomaterials; Radioactive aerosols: tracers of atmospheric processes. With the importance of this topic brought to the public's attention after the eruption of the Icelandic volcano Eyjafjallajökull, this book provides a timely, concise and accessible overview of the many facets of aerosol science. --
