Our research on nano aerosols of radioactive radon decay product was extended by preliminary measurements of the number concentration and size distribution of general, non-radioactive aerosols in range 10–1100 nm. Number of such studies is sparse and not much attention has been paid to the interaction of both kinds of aerosols. First study was performed in different laboratories of the "Jožef Stefan" Institute.

COBISS.SI-ID: 21776935Emission of nanoparticles to a work atmosphere and to the environment represents a serious risk for human health, quality of life and work conditions. Small size of nanoparticles is a serious limitation for their counting and thus the different approaches have been discussed together with some novel techniques, which are still under development.

COBISS.SI-ID: 22570023Aerosol measurements in outdoor air at the vicinity of a heavy traffic road indicate significantly higher aerosol concentrations during rush hours (morning and evening). SEM/EDX analyses showed that the great part of aerosols is composed of soot, seen as agglomerates of small spherical primary particles. As expected, our results confirmed the major role of traffic emission to number concentration of particles in the range up to 100 nm.
