Fine Particle (2.5 microns) Emissions 
Regulations, Measurement, and Control

* Research has shown that inhaling fine particles is a greater
health risk than breathing larger particles. Title is ‘very
timely…needed NOW, ‘ according to one reviewer

* Covers a ‘controversial’ but important topic, for which there
is a lack of literature and hence guidance for those professionals
affected by it

* Covers legislative background and gives insight into regulatory
and technical matters such as measurement and control of fine
particle emissions

* Combines the practical, theoretical, and regulatory areas of
fine particulate monitoring, with ‘reference to the regulated
community’

* Written by a recognized authority with over 30 years of
pollution control experience
