matter

Olsen, J.

Completion Date: 2001 - project abandoned
Objective:
This manuscript will consider appropriate analytical techniques
for characterization and whatever is known about the relations of
different sizes and types of particles to health effects. It will
also address some aspects of speciation as appropriate. The result
will be an IUPAC recommendation or a technical report. Such a project
will respond to current concern about the respiratory damage which
may be caused by particulates, including increased morbidity and
mortality.
