Abstract:
The effects of method of droplet analysis, reader of Teflon slides and distance on mass median diameter of a Cythion aerosol cloud were examined in the calibration of an Army Insecticide Measuring System (AIMS). There were no significant differences in results among readers and between the AIMS and readers. There were slight but statistically significant differences between readers of Teflon slides and between the methods of analysis. Data supports the manufacturer's recommendation that, for the AIMS, the distance at which an aerosol generator air blast is between 3 and 7 m3 s-1 must be determined.
