HSCI 552 Introduction to Aerosol Science

An aerosol is an assembly of particles suspended in a gaseous medium. Omnipresent in workplaces and outdoor environments, aerosols include a wide range of phenomena, such as dust, fume, smoke, mist, fog, haze, clouds, and smog. Certain aerosols pose significant health threats, while others improve the quality of our lives. An understanding of how airborne particles behave is needed to control against their undesirable effects and to harness their beneficial potential. This course will explore the mechanics of aerosol behavior, including their generation, transformation, and fate in occupational and environmental settings.
