Aaron J. Hand

Many man-made and natural activities emit airborne particulates, filling our atmosphere with pollution that can damage human respiratory systems, reduce visibility and even alter the local climate through interactions with solar radiation. Scientists have developed ways to measure the elemental composition of aerosols, but large, unwieldy instruments discourage their use in the field. Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee (managed by Lockheed Martin Energy Research Corp., also in Oak Ridge) have developed a measurement system that combines technologies adopted from...Read full article
