Do we really need SEVEN new aerosol particle sampling conventions?
Abstract:
The rationale behind recently proposed aerosol particle sampling conventions is discussed. The conventions are tailored toward estimation of dose to specific areas of the human respiratory tract prior to possible dissolution or clearance. Allowance is made for inter- and intra-person variation. Particle size from sub- to supermicrometer size is covered. The intent is to spur the development of personal sampling equipment for improved correlation between workplace assessment and health response.

Sampling Methods: Sample Types
Solid samples include a variety of substances, such as sediments from water bodies, soil, metals, and biological tissues. Two standard methods for extracting sediments from water bodies are grab sampling and piston coring. Grab sampling involves using a device to collect a discrete sediment sample from the bottom of a water body with minimal disturbance. Grab samples do not always represent the entire area due to...
Sampling Plans
Random sampling is a method where each member of the population has an equal chance of being selected for the sample. It involves selecting individuals randomly, often using random number generators or lottery-type methods. For example, when analyzing the properties of a...
