Publisher's Synopsis
This is the first book that comprehensively reviews the rapidly growing field of receptor modeling. It systematically presents the analytical and mathematical methods that have been developed and used in source apportionment of airborne particulate matter. The book focuses on airborne, particulate matter since in this area the methods have been extensively applied. The techniques described can be applied to a variety of problems where the measured properties of the system can be compared to the sum of independently contributing causal factors.
