Scope

TC 2.4 is concerned with the nature of particulate contaminants, both solid and liquid; the measurement of their properties; their effects on living things and materials; both solid and liquid; the means of removing unwanted particulate contaminants from gases; and the evaluation of the effectiveness, energy usage, and the economy of such purification equipment.

For both ordinary and extraordinary situations including hostile acts the TC is concerned with the effects of particulate contaminants on the quality of air supplied to and exhausted from enclosed spaces, and with the sources of particulate contamination pollution within such spaces. The scope of TC 2.4 does not include purely physiological or toxicological aspects of particulate pollution. .
