Development and Evaluation of a Prototype System for Collecting Sub-Hourly Ambient Aerosol for Chemical Analysis

Aerosol growth technology is used as a means of collecting ambient aerosol particles for subsequent chemical analyses. Condensational growth has previously been used in Condensation Nucleus Counters and in ultrafine particle concentrators at flow rates up to 110 L . min -1 . Here, air is sampled at...

Summary:Aerosol growth technology is used as a means of collecting ambient aerosol particles for subsequent chemical analyses. Condensational growth has previously been used in Condensation Nucleus Counters and in ultrafine particle concentrators at flow rates up to 110 L . min -1 . Here, air is sampled at a flow rate of 170 L . min -1
