Comparison of recommended respirable mass dust sampling devices. 1977

E M Thompson, and H N Treaftis, and T F Tomb, and A J Beckert

The draft, "Revised Guide for Respirable Mass Sampling," prepared by the AIHA-ACGIH Aerosol Hazards Committee, recommends five respirable mass sampling devices that sample in accordance with the "Los Alamos" respirable dust criterion. The spectrum of recommended sampling rates for these devices ranges from 1.8 to 430. liters per minute. A study was conducted to determine if simultaneous measurements with these devices yielded comparable respirable mass concentrations. The penetration characteristics of the first stage separators were also evaluated and compared.
