In this article we present results from a 2-year comprehensive exposure assessment study
that examined the particulate matter (PM) exposures and health effects in 108 individuals …

The work presented in this paper examines the characteristics, chemical composition and
relationship between indoor and outdoor particulate matter (PM) in the Coachella Valley, a …

In a recent study, EPA found a significant relationship between PM2. 5 mass measurements
at a community site and personal exposure samples in a Towson, MD retirement facility. This …

This paper presents the development, laboratory characterization, and field evaluation of a
compact multistage cascade impactor (CCI). The CCI operates at a flow rate of 30 LPM and …

_ Human exposure to outdoor air pollution is believed to cause severe health effects,
especially in urban areas where pollution levels often are high, because of the poor …

Short-term monitoring of individual particulate matter (PM) exposures on subjects and inside
residences in health effect studies have been sparse due to the lack of adequate monitoring …

This paper presents an experimental investigation of the effects of impaction substrate
designs and material in reducing particle bounce and reentrainment. Particle collection …

A dynamic phenomenon that occurs with the measurement of a diluted diesel-soot aerosol
with an electrical low-pressure impactor (ELPI) was studied. An experimental setup for …

Urinary methoxyphenols have been proposed as biomarkers for woodsmoke exposure, but
the relationship between exposure and urinary methoxyphenol concentrations has not been …

Abstract A new Thermal Precipitator (TP) was developed as a personal sampler for
nanoparticle exposure studies. Two parallel 20-mm-long plates with different but uniform …
