Over 50000 students are enrolled at the University of Michigan's three campuses. The students come from 50 states and over 100 foreign countries. ) provides an account of aerosol sampling as it is applied to the measurement of aerosols that are ubiquitous in both indoor and outdoor occupational and living environments. Early chapters describe the physical science underpinning the process of aerosol sampling. Later chapters present the basis of standards for aerosols, including in particular the link with human exposure by inhalation inhalation /in·ha·la·tion/ (in?hah-la´shun)

, and cover the development of practical aerosol sampling instrumentation. Final chapters describe the performance of sampling instruments in the field in both ambient and occupational atmospheric environments The envelope of air surrounding the Earth, including its interfaces and interactions with the Earth's solid or liquid surface. . The readership for the book includes researchers and practitioners in occupational and environmental health and hygiene, aerosol scientists and engineers, and graduate students in these fields. In addition, the book will be of interest to environmental and occupational epidemiologists, atmospheric scientists, and occupational and environmental health policy specialists.
