Abstract
The presence of airborne particulate contaminants and exposure of humans to the elevated levels of such pollutants has been linked to a wide spectrum of diseases. The knowledge of airborne particle sizes and concentrations is substantial for the assessment of a possible health hazard, as well as for the biomedical research linked to inhalation and regional deposition of those contaminants within the human respiratory system.
