Spurny, whose untimely death on November 3, 1999 shocked and saddened all associ- ated with its publication. CRC Press/Lewis Publishers is privileged to have had a long-stand- ing relationship with Dr. Spurny, whose deep interest in science, drive to initiate and complete tasks, and kind personality are as integral to his publishing file as the tangible documents therein. The Publisher sin- cerely regrets that aerosol science has lost one of its founding fathers, a great scientist, and a renowned contributor to the literature in this field. Furthermore, the Publisher gratefully acknowledges Dr. Dieter Hochrainer of Boehringer Ingelheim, Dr. Spurny's former colleague at the Fraunhofer Institute, for his assistance in the final production of this book. L829/frame/FM Page v Wednesday, February 2, 2000 9:03 AM © 2000 by CRC Press LLC Acknowledgments The editor is extremely grateful to the authors for their excellent contributions. They have not only contributed to broader information on the progress, state of the art, and new concepts in the field of aerosol chemical processes, but they also have recognized the need for a monograph in aerosol chemistry. The editor would like to thank the staff of Lewis Publishers, a division of CRC Press LLC, for their substantial help with the realization of this book. The authors are globally distributed and, for the majority of them, English is not their mother tongue. Without the great, patient, and highly professional support of the publishers, the realization of this book would not have been possible. All — authors and publishers — have done an excellent job for aerosol science and aerosol scientists. L829/frame/FM Page vii Wednesday, February 2, 2000 9:03 AM © 2000 by CRC Press LLC Preface Aerosol science today is an interdisciplinary branch of science that incorporates several environ- mental, biological, and technological research fields. In a conference organized in Prague (Czech- oslovakia) in 1962, we were able to bring together lecturers from different scientific fields — physicists, chemists, meteorologists, biologists, physicians, hygienists, agrochemists, astrophysi- cists, etc. — and from several different countries. The conference showed the important role of aerosols and aerosol research in many basic and applied scientific and technological fields (Spurny, K., Ed ., Aerosols, Physical Chemistry and Applications , Academia Publ. House, Prague, 1965). Furthermore, the interdisciplinary cooperation was found to be very useful and necessary. I also remember the important role of chemistry in basic and applied aerosol research in a contri- bution, published in 1971 (Spurny, K.R., A note on the development of the chemistry of aerosols, J. Aerosol Sci., 2, 389, 1971). Now, being retired and 75 years old, I still feel that there is a need for more synthetic work in aerosol chemistry, consisting of summarizing and evaluating the very many aerosol chemical publications dispersed in the various journals among several disciplines. Nevertheless, such a task is not easily realized. It is perhaps beyond the feasibility of one or more editors to organize and compile a monograph like the Aerosol Chemistry Handbook , which would include and describe all or the most important aerosol chemical processes involved in already known scientific and technological areas. We consider this book a partial contribution to such a task. We have picked up several examples that show the impact of aerosol chemistry in several fields, mainly in basic and atmospheric research. American, European, and Japanese colleagues have substantially contributed to the realization of this book. I would like to thank them very much and hope their contributions will be helpful and useful to the readers. Kvetoslav R. Spurny L829/frame/FM Page ix Wednesday, February 2, 2000 9:03 AM © 2000 by CRC Press LLC Editor Prof. Dr. Kvetoslav R. Spurny was Head of the Department of Aerosol Chemistry at the Fraunhofer Institute for Environmental Chemistry and Ecotoxicology in Germany from 1972 to 1988. After his retirement, he continued to work as an aerosol chemist. Prior to this, he was an environmental chemist at the Institute for Occupational Hygiene in Prague (1952 to 1956) and Head of the Department of Aerosol Sciences at the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences in Prague (1957 to 1972). He was a Visiting Scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, Boulder, Colorado, (1966 to 1967) and Visiting Scientist at the Nuclear Research Center, Fontenay aux Roses, France, in 1969. Dr. Spurny obtained his diploma in Physics and Chemistry from Charles University, Prague, in 1948, a Ph.D. in chemistry at the same university in 1952, and a C.Sc. as a Candidate of Chemical Sciences at the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences in Prague in 1964. Professor Spurny was a member of the American Chemical Society, American Association for the Advancement of Science, American Association of Aerosol Research, British Occupational Hygiene Society, the New York Academy of Sciences, and was president of the Association for Aerosol Research from 1983 to 1984. He wrote three books on aerosols and over 150 original publications in aerosol physics and chemistry. In 1989, he was the recipient of the American David Sinclair Award in Aerosol Sciences.

An aerosol is a collection of fine and very fine particles dispersed in the gas phase. While aerosol physics tries to describe the mechanical and dynamical behavior of this system and the movement of particles in several force fields, and considers the single particle to be chemically inert, aerosol chemistry involves the physicochemical and chemical properties of the particles, in the chemical processes of particle generation, gas-to-particle and particle-to-particle reactions, interface interactions, and — on a large scale — the chemical effects of particles in several environmental fields and situations. Single aerosol particles are rarely inert; they are chemically varied and reactive.
