| Abstract |
Gelatin filter media, an impinger sampler and spiral cascade impactors were tested for collection efficiency for small (≤2µm) latex spheres and for recovery of bacterial aerosols. The impinger and cascade impactor showed excellent collection efficiencies for 0.8µm latex aerosols and bacteria (E. Coli, 2µm). Gelatin and membrane filter media were not satisfactory for sampling vegetative bacterial cells sensitive to dehydration. |
