Abstract
Bag sampling techniques have been employed in aerosol research for many years for temporary aerosol storage. They have been used to age samples and to sample from changing sources, integrating over fluctuations in aerosol properties and concentrations. Here, we describe an “Iron Lung” aerosol sampler for the continuous delivery of fine particulate matter that has been built by our groups. Its performance for the storage and sampling of fine particulate matter has been evaluated using soot from a kerosene lamp.
