This book is intended as an introduction to radioactivity and
aerosols for the scientifically literate reader who has had no
previous exposure to either of these subjects. Although its main
focus is radioactive aerosols, on the road to this subject I
provide short, somewhat independent introductions to both
radioactivity and aerosols, with some emphasis on experimental
aspects. The audience I have in mind is upper-level undergraduates
or beginning graduate students with a minimum background of
introductory college courses in physics, chemistry, and calculus.
This book may also be useful to "crossover" professional-
professionals in other fields of science and engineering, for
example biology or geoscience, who would like a step-by-step
introduction to this subject matter from the physical science
perspective. In writing this book I have been sensitive to requests
and suggestions from students who need some background in this
subject matter but will probably not specialize in it. These
students are bright, but busy, and they sometimes feel overwhelmed
by the mass of information in advanced, comprehensive texts. No
matter how noble the intentions of the authors (or the teachers
assigning the books ), these students often do not have time to
read such books through cover to cover, and they fmd it difficult
to pick out a coherently-connected subset of the material.
Furthermore, modern students studying an interdisciplinary subject
like radioactive aerosols are likely to be more diversified than
ever, in educational background, in interests, and in preparation.
