Describes the basics of airborne particles. Explores properties of gases, particle motion, size statistics, Brownian motion and diffusion, curvilinear motion of particles, particle deposition and clearance in the human respiratory system, filtration, aerosol samplers, and sampling methodology, optical properties and electrical properties of aerosols.
Learning Objectives
Upon successfully completing this course, students will be able to:
- Calculate properties of gases, particle motion, size statistics, Brownian motion, and diffusion
- Analyze particle deposition and clearance in humans
- Assess particle filtration, aerosol samplers, and sampling
- Assess the usefulness and limitations of optical and electric methods for aerosol sampling
