Towards Understanding Resuspension
- Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), Los Alamos, NM (United States)
The lofting of aerosols that have settled onto the surface back into the air is called resuspension. Particles may be resuspended into the air by wind gusts and by mechanical disturbances (e.g., walking, vehicular traffic, digging and excavation). Typically, the amount of resuspension has been reported in the literature as a resuspension factor or as a resuspension rate. The former is easier to measure, while the latter is easier to utilize in transport and dispersion models.
