With every breath we take, we inhale many particles with a diameter much smaller than the width of a human hair. These small particles can contribute to particulate matter air pollution that has been shown to lead to a number of respiratory health problems. A new instrument for measuring aerosols, recently installed in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, could lead to more accurate weather and air quality forecasts.
Accurate, high resolution weather forecasts equate to cost savings across many different industries, but it is not always clear exactly what those cost savings are.
