Noting that a new version of the cup was now commercialised and the assumption that the use of viscous liquids, not evaporating, could increase the sampling duration and modify the physical performances, the objective of this work was to characterize…

The CIP 10-M personal sampler is used to assess worker exposure to airborne particles by collecting them in a rotating metal cup containing a few milliliters of a collection fluid. Although used by many teams in the world, the particle-collection…

Quantifying semi-volatile organic aerosols in workplace air is a critical step in assessing employee exposure to these types of aerosols. Indeed, numerous organic compounds coexist both in particulate and gaseous form. However, the sampling…

Performance of the µ-Cathia aerosol sampler versus conventional thoracic health-related aerosol fraction
The paper deals with a sampling efficiency measurement of the personal aerosol sampler µ-Cathia. Results of the experimental efficiency…

Outline of reasons and objectives
In France, wood dust is classified on the national list of carcinogenic processes and the decree of 23 December 2003 sets a stringent occupational exposure limit value for wood dust of 1 mg.m-3 that has been applicable…

Parallel Particle Impactor (PPI) samples the thoracic health-related aerosol fraction at 2 L/min flow rate for the assessment of workers’ personal exposure. The PPI sampler was laboratory tested and the resulting sampling efficiency curve was…
