First time in Slovenia measurements of number concentration and size distribution of nano aerosols in range 10–1100 nm in diffrerent environments

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.

Demonstration of nanoparticles detection

Emission 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.

Radon: harmful agent and useful scientific tool

Results of our radon research were presented from two aspects: (i) the role of attached and unattached nano aerosols of radon decay products and (ii) radon as a tool in various scientific disciplines.

Influence of traffic emmisions to number concentration, size distribution and structure of outdoor aerosols

Aerosol 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.
