La granulométrie est l'ensemble des techniques qui président à l'analyse granulométrique des particules (particle size analysis) et à leur distribution granulométrique. En pollution de l'air, on notera que la terminologie de la granulométrie, qui porte souvent sur des particules submicroniques, est différente de celle utilisée en pédologie. 5, record 2, French, - distribution%20granulom%C3%A9trique
