Morphological properties and atomic crystal lattice of solid carbonaceous objects

Abstract

Diesel particulate matter (DPM) is an area of concern from an environmental point of view due to its functionality to settle in the respiratory channels when inhaled, cause inflammation in the respiratory tract, accumulate carcinogenic compounds, and adversely reflected the cardiovascular functions, thus causing excess mortality. DPM consists of an agglomeration of a numerous unions of preimages germ structures, spherical in the form of turbostratic carbon. Part of the DPM contains partially oxidized polyaromatic compounds C and H with a ring structure (PAH).
