title: Study of smoke aerosols under a controlled environment by using dynamic light scattering.
abstract: The size of cigarette smoke aerosols was determined with the photon-correlation technique. The effects of temperature and concentration on aerosol size were also observed. We found that aerosol size increases almost linearly with an increase in concentration but decreases with an increase in temperature.
