• Sommario/riassunto: Aerosols influence many areas of our daily life. They are at the core ofenvironmental problems such as global warming, photochemical smog andpoor air quality. They can also have diverse effects on human health, whereexposure occurs in both outdoor and indoor environments. However, aerosols can have beneficial effects too; the delivery of drugs to thelungs, the delivery of fuels for combustion and the production of nanomaterialsall rely on aerosols. Advances in particle measurement technologies havemade it possible to take advantage of rapid changes
