Inertial migration

Airborne particles may be delivered to surfaces by wet and dry deposition. Several transport mechanisms, such as turbulent diffusion, precipitation, sedimentation, Brownian diffusion, interception, and inertial migration, influence the dry deposition process of airborne particles. Large particles (dNIOAm) are transported mainly by sedimentation hence, large particulate PAHs tend to be deposited nearer the sources of emission Small particles (dblAm), which behave like gases, are often transported and deposited far from where they originated (Baek et al., 1991 Wu et al., 2005).
