AB  - Physicochemical properties important in exposure characterisation of four 
      different welding aerosols were investigated. Particle number size distributions 
      were determined by scanning mobility particle sizer (SMPS), mass size 
      distributions by separation and weighing the individual size fractions of an 
      11-stage cascade impactor. The size distribution of the primary particles of 
      agglomerates, chemical composition and morphology of the particles were examined 
      by TEM. There were significant differences in the particle number size 
      distributions of the different welding aerosols according to the SMPS 
      determinations. The particle mass size distributions determined gravimetrically 
      were, however, not really different. The dominant range with respect to mass was 
      between 0.1 and 1 mum, regardless of the welding technique. Most of the primary 
      particles in all different welding aerosols had diameters between 5 and 40 nm. 
      All types of primary particles had a tendency to form chainlike agglomerates. A 
      clear size dependence of the particle chemical composition was encountered in the 
      case of manual metal arc welding aerosol. Small particles with diameters below 
      50 nm were mostly metal oxides in contrast to larger particles which also 
      contained more volatile elements (e.g. potassium, fluorine, sodium, sulphur).
