Improving the UNC Passive Aerosol Sampler Model Based on Comparison with Commonly Used Aerosol Sampling Methods
Objectives In an occupational environment, passive sampling could be an alternative to active sampling with pumps for sampling of dust. One passive sampler is the University of North Carolina passive aerosol sampler (UNC sampler). It is often analysed by microscopic imaging. Promising results have been shown for particles above 2.5 µm, but indicate large underestimations for PM2.5. The aim of t...
متن کاملComparison of a passive aerosol sampler to size-selective pump samplers in indoor environments.
The objective of this work was to investigate the ability of the Wagner-Leith passive aerosol sampler to measure indoor exposures over periods of 24 hours to 2 weeks. An automated analysis technique was developed so that lower aerosol concentrations could be sampled over shorter time periods. A test of the new analytical method against a manual method showed good agreement. The passive sampler ...
متن کاملThe pre-impinger, a selective aerosol sampler.
When airborne particles are inhaled it is known that most of those of effective diameter greater than about 5 ,u are filtered out by the upper respiratory tract. Current knowledge of this subject as reviewed by Davies (1949, 1952) indicates that the size of particle which has a 50% chance of passing through the upper respiratory tract lies somewhere in the range 312t to 5 t±. Toxic effects from...
متن کاملComparison of the Relative Performance of Active and Passive Aerosol Collection Methods for Biological Detection
The ability to reliably detect hazardous airborne biological materials is an inherently difficult and important problem for Defence (i.e., force protection), national security (i.e., detection of anthropogenic and natural hazards, evaluation of risks for first responders) and for ecological monitoring (i.e., air pollution). There are a multitude of approaches to the problem of biological detect...
متن کاملEvaluation of commonly used filter substrates for the measurement of aerosol trace element solubility
The published literature describing aerosol trace element fractional solubility measurements is characterized by a wide range of observed fractional solubilities. Whereas some of this variability is derived from natural differences in the chemical characteristics of the aerosol source material, the use of different sample collection and processing protocols by the scientific community has also ...
