The particle size windows

A particle flow says how much, where it went, and which particles were counted. The first two are the unit and the context. The third is the window — a pair of aerodynamic-diameter bounds in micrometres — and it is the identity: two spellings of one window are one thing, and two windows are two things however alike they are spelled.

Seven windows, ours. No published vocabulary carries a particle size band, so nothing here cites one; the bounds are what a reviewer checks, and a window's parent is the smallest window whose bounds contain it. Every window is always published under its Particulates spelling as well as its Particles (…) name, so a search for the ecoinvent-2 form finds it whichever vendor's rows reached it.

A second axis, which is not a size: 2 rows read under mobile, 1 row read under process, 3 rows read under stationary. What emitted the particles is recorded and the row lands on the unqualified window, because the only method that distinguishes them gives all of them the same number.

Per window, the consensus implementation's factors in the particulate categories: how many are published, how many of those were carried rather than stated, and the number in unspecified air. A window nobody characterises takes its nearest broader window's stated number inside the compartment — the coarse band takes PM10's, the ultrafine cut takes PM2.5's, the above-ten fraction takes the size-unstated total's — and the compartment convention then spreads it into the outdoor strata. Under EF 3.1 nothing characterises the total or anything above it, so particles above ten micrometres stay blank there.

None. Every source row of this build named as a particle size cut has a reading in the size table, which is what a finished build guarantees: a row without one stops the merge rather than minting a substance.

Every flow published on one of these windows.
