Specific research subjects have emerged with respect to improved descriptions of specific phenomena. Some time ago, it was speculated that gas-solid interactions and turbulence effects on reaction kinetics would be important areas of advance in the modeling art. Gas-solid interactions include both chemical formation of aerosols and reactions on surfaces of pre-existing suspended particulate matter. Because of differing effects of a material in the gas phase and in some condensed phase, it will be important to characterize transformation processes. The achex (Aerosol Characterization hYperiment) program recently carried out under the direction of Hidy will provide an extensive data base with which to test new ways of treating the gas-solid interaction problem. 

Finally, receptor modeling offers a useful theme around which to organize aerosol characterization studies. Large scale field studies are expensive, and they also tend to be diffuse. Data requirements for source resolution can be used to select the chemical and physical properties of the aerosol to be measured both at receptor sites and at sources.

Several generalizations can be made about aerosol characterization study design based on past experience. Existing data should be used to obtain an understanding of the area under study. These data include historical aerosol and gas concentrations, meteorological data, emissions inventories, chemical and microscopical analyses, and the results of dispersion modeling.

The generalized distribution functions offer a useful means of organizing the theory of aerosol characterization for chemically different species. To date, however, the data have not been sufficiently comprehensive to warrant application of such formalism.
