[Recent investigations of particle size distribution of atmospheric aerosols have revealed] that atmospheric particles tend to form a stable aerosol having a size distribution ranging from 0.1 to 1.0 micrometer in general. However, larger and smaller particles occur. The larger settleable particles (greater than 1.0 micrometer) fall out, and the very fine particles (smaller than 0.1 micrometer) tend to agglomerate to form larger particles which remain suspended. 1, record 1, English, - settleable
