Airborne PM was collected onto Teflon filters (Pall Corp., Ann Arbor, MI, USA) in three size fractions: coarse (mean aerodynamic diameter, 2.5 10 μm), fine (0.18 2.5 μm), and ultrafine (< 0.18 μm) using a MOUDI cascade impactor (MSP Corp., Shoreview, MN, USA).
They concluded that sediments always become better sorted during transport, whereas the mean grain size and skewness vary with specific combination patterns (FB−: finer mean grain size, better sorting value, and greater negative skewness; or CB+: coarser mean grain size, better sorting value, and greater positive skewness).
Shakespeare in his late romances had the coarse "public means" of stagecraft to solidify his death-denying fictions; Hawthorne, solitary in his Concord tower, had only secluded intuitions, and these darkened and dissolved.

Fifty healthy nonsmoking volunteers, mean age of 28 years, were exposed to coarse (2.5 10 μm; mean, 213 μg/m) and fine (0.15 2.5 μm; mean, 238 μg/m) concentrated ambient particles (CAPs), and filtered ambient and/or medical air.
