    Relative frequency of particle size for samples with 3-min heating. Along x-axis are particle sizes (nm), and y-axis represents relative frequency (%) that particle sizes (within small range) occur in sample. Solid lines represent 0-h readings, and dashed lines represent 6-h readings. Vertical lines indicate median particle size for sample.
