Figures & data
Figure 1. Pictures of the CIP 10-M sampler. (1) Particle-size selector/aerosol aspiration via an omnidirectional annular slot; (2) rotating cup containing the collection fluid; (2a) older-model cup studied by Görner et al. Citation(2006); (2b) cup available since 2008; (3) box containing internal rechargeable batteries/motor/electronic regulator circuit; (4) magnetic start and stop system; (5) housing for the rotating cup; (6) air exhaust orifice. The dotted-line circles highlight the three main differences between the old and the new sampling cups (further explanations on A, B, and C in Section 2.1).
Table 1. Laboratory equipment used to measure the collection efficiency of the CIP 10-M.
Figure 2. Diagram of the experimental setups used to measure the collection efficiency of the CIP 10-M cup with (a) polydisperse aerosol of DEHS, (b) monodisperse DEHS aerosols, and (c) polydisperse bacterial aerosol of E. coli.
Figure 3. Kinetics of evaporation for water, PBS, and ViaTrap present in the rotating cup of the CIP 10-M. Error bars represent the 95% confidence interval (IC95).
Figure 4. Collection efficiency for the CIP 10-M cup filled with different collection fluids (water, ViaTrap) for particles with aerodynamic diameters between 0.1 and 10 µm. Error bars represent the IC95.
Figure 5. Bias map for the CIP 10-M for log-normal aerosol size distribution. Contours representing equal mass-based bias (%) relative to the inhalable fraction as a function of MMAD and σg or contours representing equal number-based bias (%) relative to the inhalable fraction as a function of CMAD and σg.
