Article Synopsis
- Personal monitors like miniDiSC/DiSCmini, NanoTracer, and Partector are used to measure exposure to nanoparticles, with readings closely related to particle size and lung-deposited surface area (LDSA).
- Data from these monitors were compared to reference instruments during two measurement campaigns involving 29 different aerosol types, revealing that results were consistent within ±30% for LDSA and mean particle size when particles were sized 20-400nm.
- However, for particle number concentration, the comparability was slightly worse, around ±50%, and larger particles (over 400nm) significantly affected measurement accuracy across all instruments.
