Méthode de mesure des aérosols. Les quantités les plus souvent déterminées sont : la concentration massique ou en nombre, la fonction de distribution en dimension dans un domaine limité, le coefficient d'extinction, la composition chimique globale ou d'une fraction discrète de la granulométrie. [...] Mesure de la concentration massique. C'est, pour l'essentiel, l'utilisation de la filtration qui permet d'obtenir à moindre coût une caractérisation de la masse totale des particules présentes dans un volume d'air donné. La masse d'aérosol prélevé sera alors déterminée par pesée sous atmosphère contrôlée. 1, record 1, French, - concentration%20massique
