        Feret diameter distribution of primary particles
        of aggregates and constituent parts of aggregates
Bibliography

Gives a guideline on the implications of choice of particle metric to express the exposure to airborne NOAAs e.g. released from nanomaterials and present the principles of operation, advantages and disadvantages of various techniques that measure the different aerosol metrics.
