| Abstract |
Assessment of inhalable dust exposure requires reliable sampling methods in order to measure airborne inhalable particle concentrations. Many inhalable aerosol samplers are available but their performances widely vary and remain unknown in some cases. The sampling performance of inhalable samplers is strongly dependent on particle size and ambient air velocity. In this study, five inhalable aerosol samplers were evaluated in two laboratory wind tunnels using a polydisperse glass-bead test aerosol. Findings are discussed. Significant differences between moving air and calm air sampling efficiency were observed for all the studied samplers. |
