Dear Jonathan,
Regarding "dry": When we provide the total particle mass or the
particle size distribution, it is important to distinguish between
dry and wet particle condition. When we provide the mass of one
species (independent of the particle size) it does not matter
whether we consider dry
Dear Roy and Jonathan,
should I split the volcanic ash and radioactive partcles proposal? It
seems like ash is easily accepted, while radioactivity needs some
discussions.
I will here with our experts if radioactivity can replace activity, or
if this is ambiguous in the nuclear community.
Concer

Hi Heiko,
Check with Alison to see if you need to do anything to prevent the volcanic ash
proposal becoming blocked.
There are more possible isotopes than I intuitively expected, but as CF
philosophy is only to generate Standard Names on an 'as needed' basis the
numbers should be manageable. H

Dear Daniel
OK. If experts are unanimous in their conviction that the existing names will
never be needed for the meaning that they appear to have, I agree that they
should become aliases of the new names, which convey the correct meaning.
I'm sure this change could be made. Alison Pamment is in c
Dear Heiko and Roy
I am happy to agree with you that we should retain the radioactive species in
the standard names, given (a) the number is not huge and as Roy said they would
be added only as needed, (b) the distinction between these species and other
chemical species is blurred, (c) there is no

Great.
