National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Studies of Aerosol Sampler Performance Characteristics.

PB2001101406

Publication Date	1998
Personal Author	Vincent, J. H.; Ramachandran, G.; Sreenath, A.
Page Count	162
Abstract	The aims of the research were to: (a) develop laboratory models relevant to the study of aerosol sampling in industrial hygiene; (b) conduct experiments to evaluate basic aerosol sampling performance indices and the role of physical factors such as sampler size and shape, orientation, windspeed and sampling flowrate; (c) relate the results to existing theories and develop improved models for application by users and designers of practical aerosol samplers; and (d) propose physically-based guidelines for the development of new samplers meeting the new particle size-selective, health-related criteria.
