Optical properties and mass concentration of carbonaceous smokes.

Absorption or extinction measurements at wavelengths of 0.5145 and 10.6 microm lead to determination of the mass concentration of carbonaceous smokes with an accuracy of ~20%. The results do not depend on the details of the particle size distribution or on particulate to void ratio.
