    This study introduces a simple parallel plate, irrigated precipitator for sampling soluble aerosols. The device demonstrates efficient particle collection, comparable to existing technologies.

    Area of Science:

    • Environmental Science
    • Analytical Chemistry
    • Aerosol Science

    Background:

    • Soluble aerosol sampling is crucial for environmental monitoring and health studies.
    • Existing sampling methods may have limitations in efficiency or applicability.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To design and evaluate a simple parallel plate, irrigated precipitator for sampling soluble aerosols.
    • To assess the performance and efficiency of the developed sampling instrument.

    Main Methods:

    • A parallel plate, irrigated precipitator design was developed.
    • Collection fluid coverage was standardized using a fiberglass mat.
    • Surface washout and fluid residence time were analyzed.
    • Efficiency was tested using di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DOP) aerosols and field samples.

    Main Results:

    • Uniform surface coverage of collection fluid (0.044 mL/cm2) was achieved.
    • Approximately 45% surface washout occurred.
    • Efficiency tests showed good correlation with the Deutsch equation.
    • The instrument's V/Q ratio compared favorably with other samplers.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed parallel plate, irrigated precipitator is an effective tool for soluble aerosol sampling.
    • The instrument offers comparable or favorable performance to existing aerosol sampling technologies.
    • This design provides a simple yet efficient solution for aerosol analysis.
