Size Selective High Volume Air Sampling Systems

The EPA Clean Air Act of 1987 established a measuring standard to evaluate and monitor the health effects of thoracic inhaleable particles. The standard was set that in order for an environment to be healthy, in terms of these particles, it must have a concentration of less than 150 mg/m3 of particles with aerodynamic diameters less than 10 microns (mm). The standard has been deemed PM-10, ...
