Dear Jonathan,

However the definition of this existing standard name does
not comment on the perplexity of two "in"s. I do believe we discussed this
before, but I can't remember when. I wonder whether we could take advantage
of your proposal to change these names in order to remove the problem. What
would read most clearly?
Yes, we should resolve it.

For example
   mass_fraction_of_water_contained_within_pm10_in_air
"contained within" is a longer way of saying "content of", which would be
more natural, but I wouldn't suggest that because "content" is used in another
specific sense in standard names (the amount of something per unit area).
That seems to be a good solution.


Best wishes,
Daniel
