  2. Introduction • Background • historical notes • route of entry • labeling • nuisance dusts • PNOC • PNOR • nanoparticles • pneumoconiosis

  3. Basic Concepts and Examples • Particle Deposition Mechanisms • inertial impaction • interception • sedimentation • electrostatic attraction • diffusion • Brownian movement

  4. Particle Filtration Mechanisms • Filter Types • HEPA • ULPA • Electret • (thermal rebound effect)

  5. Particle Size Distributions • Particle Size Distributions • particle cloud • particle size • monodisperse • polydisperse • particle concentration • particle count • particle mass • particle surface area

  6. Determining Acceptable Exposure • Critical Factors • chemical composition • isotopic composition • crystalline structure • shape of particle • size of particle • aerodynamic equivalent diameter • dose • exposure limits • references • time bases

  7. Determining Acceptable Exposure (cont.) • Critical Factors (cont.) • pre-existing health/genetics • concurrent exposure • non-interactive • additive • synergistic
