title: Particle size distribution and chemical composition of coal-tar fumes.
abstract: The study was intended to characterize the chemical and physical nature of coal-tar fumes emitted from spreading applications of coal tar. Two separate experiments were performed. The first resulted in the determination of a coal-tar fume particle size distribution. The second experiment resulted in the identification of the primary compounds found in collected tar fumes and a determination of their relative concentration.
