Preferred Label : particle size;
Detailed label : particle size in atmospheric chemistry;
IUPAC definition : To describe the size of liquid or solid particles (aerosol) the average or equivalent
diameter is used. For non-spherical particles collected in an impactor, for example,
the aerodynamic diameter of a particle of arbitrary shape and density refers to the
size of a spherical particle of unit density that would deposit on a given impactor
surface.;
