[...] les résultats des analyses granulométriques des poussières ne doivent pas être pris à la lettre, mais interprétés en fonction de l'origine des particules.

En pollution atmosphérique, contrairement à la pédologie qui l'utilise aussi, l'analyse granulométrique porte sur des particules extrêmement fines (particules submicroniques de l'ordre d'une simple molécule soit 0,0002 micron). Cette science de la mesure des particules empreinte sa terminologie à la pédologie mais la synonymie présente de nombreuses différences avec la pollution atmosphérique. 2, record 4, French, - analyse%20granulom%C3%A9trique
