The body of information presented in this paper is directed towards the scientist or engineer who measures and interprets the physical characteristics of ambient air. This paper interprets measurements made with the Minnesota Aerosol Analyzing System (MAAS) in Denver, near Denver, and near Ft. Collins, Colo., and examines the measurements in the light of what has been learned from several thousand size distributions measured in the other parts of the United States. The origin and physical change of atmospheric particulates is examined through interpretation of modes occurring in the size distributions. The mode coined “AHken Nuclei Range” mode is a measure of aerosol generation, while aged aerosols show up in the “Accumulation Range” mode. Windblown dusts, sea sprays, and mechanically produced particles such as fly ash generate a “Coarse Particle Range” mode. The air environment is categorized into several types of background and urban aerosols whose physical characteristics are described by a limited num...
