Using Porous Foam as Impaction Substrate for Optimization of Respirable Aerosol Sampler / 以海綿為衝擊介質呼吸性粉塵分徑採樣器之佳化研究

碩士 / 臺灣大學 / 職業醫學與工業衛生研究所 / 98 / In order to match the ISO/CEN/ACGIH respirable sampling criteria, applying porous polyurethane foam (PUF) to impactors on particle aerodynamic size fractioning has been studied. However, one of the inherent problems of impactors is particle bounce off the collecting plates, even though a foam substrate was applied. There is no study to examine the effect of porosity of foam on fractioning and loading property. The objective of this study is to optimize a respirable aerosol sampler with foam and identifying the foam’s effects on sampling efficiency.
Using PUF with a diameter of 3 mm at a flow rate of 1.8 lpm was demonstrated to meet the ISO/CEN/ACGIH respirable sampling criteria well in this study. Results also showed that particle bounce can be minimized by applying PUF as collecting substrate. However, this impactor is not suitable applying for large diameter aerosol environments because of its available time is about 15 mins.
