Stevens, R. AND T. Dzubay. DICHOTOMOUS SAMPLER - A PRACTICAL APPROACH TO AEROSOL FRACTIONATION AND COLLECTION. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C., EPA/600/2-78/112 (NTIS PB284091), 1978.

Description:

Procedures to size fractionate, collect, and analyze ambient concentrations of particulate matter are described. Emphasis is placed on the design and characteristics of the single-stage dichotomous sampler. A new inlet is described that samples aerosol independent of wind speed and direction, and a discussion of the advantages of a new pneumatic flow control system is included. Comparative results of the high-volume and dichotomous sampler are presented.
