Abstract: Knowledge of concentration of atmospheric aerosol particles may provide an important information in applications concerning human health. Aerosol studies reach into several fields of science. In the past decades it was shown that enhanced concentration of atmospheric aerosol lead to increased mortality on cardiopulmonary diseases and lung cancer. This work presents a robust method of estimation of particle size distribution based on mathematical gnostics. The algorithm may either be used as a manual tool for analyzing a small number of particle size distributions ex post or as a routine implemented in automatic monitoring devices for near real time processing of measured data and immediate online display on a web site. The method has sucessfully been implemented for near real time analysis of data measured by a scanning mobility particle sizer conformant to recommendations defined in the framework of the EUSAAR project.
