Smoke chamber studies have been made of the ageing of ammonium chloride smokes under various controlled degrees of turbulent air motion as well as in still air. The changes in mass concentration and particle number were followed for 5.5 hr. under each set of conditions, and some data on particle size distribution were obtained. The logarithm of the mass concentration was found to vary linearly with time under all conditions. None of the particle number data lent themselves to interpretation on the basis adopted by previous workers. They were described quantitatively by equations developed from general postulates which take into account loss to various surfaces. The equations permitted analytical separation of coagulation and surface effects, and the constant descriptive of the latter was closely related to that associated with mass loss. The coagulation constant for still air was found to be only slightly greater than the ideal Smoluchowski value. A description was obtained of the manner in which the various constants increased with the degree of air motion.
