1 Parallel Particle Impactors New Personal Samplers for Accurate Assessment of Worker Exposure to Respirable or Thoracic Dust Saulius Trakumas, Peter M. Hall, and Donald L. Smith SKC Inc., Eighty Four, Pennsylvania

2 Sampler should approximate particle penetration through human respiratory tract when purpose of monitoring workers exposure to airborne particulates is healthrelated.

3 ACGIH, CEN, and ISO have defined sampling conventions for size-selective sampling of airborne health-related particles: Inhalable (particles that enter nose/mouth) Thoracic (fraction of particles that penetrates down to the larynx) Respirable (fraction of particles that penetrates down to the alveolar region of the lungs)

15 APS was calibrated periodically using PSL particles of known size To minimize erroneous counts and coincidence effect, small test particles were removed before entering test chamber using a virtual impactor and test particle concentration inside the chamber was kept below cm -3.

24 Conclusion A novel design incorporating several inertial impactors arranged in parallel was applied to fabricate respirable and thoracic PPIs. PPIs were found to follow accurately appropriate conventions. PPI samplers performed equally well for liquid and solid test particles and penetration characteristics remained unchanged after prolonged exposure to coal mine dust.

25 Conclusion The suggested PPI design can be applied to model a sampler with characteristics simulating the shape of any monotonically changing predetermined curve at a selected flow rate.
