Article Synopsis
- The text discusses the importance of where inhaled particles deposit in the body, leading to the adoption of a particle deposition sampling convention by the International Organization for Standardization.
- A study was conducted to evaluate how well a polyurethane foam insert in an IOM sampler mimicked this convention by testing different particle sizes and accounting for static electricity.
- Results showed that while the foam insert generally matched the sampling convention for larger particles, it underestimated efficiencies for all sizes, with a significant difference noted only for the smallest particle size when comparing standard and neutralized particles.
