Popis: Thermal analysis as an analytical tool has been applied to the study of suspended liquid and solid matter in air. The aerosol is heated in a glass pipe, and the light scattering coefficient is used for thein situ detection of aerosol. Results of thermal analysis of the Los Angeles smog, and of St. Louis aerosol on dry and humid days, are presented, all indicating distinctly different thermo-nephelograms. On polluted days in St. Louis, over 50% of the light scattering coefficient is lost at about 100‡, which indicates the presence of H2SO4.
