* Research has shown that inhaling fine particles is a greaterhealth risk than breathing larger particles. Title is "verytimely...needed NOW," according to one reviewer* Covers a "controversial" but important topic, for which thereis a lack of literature and hence guidance for those professionalsaffected by it* Covers legislative background and gives insight into regulatoryand technical matters such as measurement and control of fineparticle emissions* Combines the practical, theoretical, and regulatory areas offine particulate monitoring, with "reference to the regulatedcommunity"* Written by a recognized authority with over 30 years ofpollution control experience
