Dustiness testing and moving towards a biologically relevant dustiness index.
This communication reviews the progress so far in dustiness measurements and summarizes recent research into an improved dustiness tester. A dustiness index based on the three biologically relevant aerosol fractions is proposed. Finally the paper looks ahead at the future direction of the work.
