2009 Impact Factor: 2.739 Ranking: 14/128 in Engineering, Chemical; 36/181 in Environmental Sciences; 15/63 in Meteorology & Atmospheric Sciences2009 5-Year Impact Factor: 3.218169;2010 Thomson Reuters, 2009 Journal Citation Reports174;Aerosol Science and Technology publishes the results of theoretical, numerical and experimental investigations into aerosol behavior, measurement, and effects. High-quality reports on fundamental and applied topics in this important and rapidly expanding field are suitable. Particularly appropriate subjects are particle motion in laminar or turbulent fluids; light scattering phenomena, visibility, and atmospheric optics; electrical charging and precipitation; coagulation, size distribution, and aerosol dynamics; evaporation and condensation; cohesion and adhesion; diffusion; aerosol formation in flames; nucleation phenomena; impaction; cyclone collectors and centrifuges; electrostatic precipitators; aerosol filtration; aerosol generation methods; sampling of airborne particles; measurement of physical and chemical properties; effects of aerosols on climate and other atmospheric processes; particle deposition in respiratory systems; health effects; radioactive aerosols; aerosol emissions from industrial processes; pollution control; and aerosols in the workplace.The Editors also encourage the submission of critical reviews of recent research and historical reviews of important aerosol topics. Announcements and reports of the American Association for Aerosol Research and other pertinent meetings will be published whenever possible, as will reviews of relevant books and computer software.Publication office: Taylor & Francis, Inc., 325 Chestnut Street, Suite 800, Philadelphia, PA 19106.
