title: Overview of the International Conference on Particle Detection, Metrology, and Control.
abstract: The 1990 International Conference on Particle Detection, Metrology, and Control (February, 1990) jointly sponsored by the Parenteral Drug Association, Inc. and The Institute for Environmental Sciences provided a point in time to measure the progress achieved in the solution of the particle measurement problems that were defined at the 1987 Particle Conference. This Conference was of special significance since it addressed the scientific problems whose solution is required for successful harmonization of world particulate measurements and standards. A summary of the major papers presented follows.
