"High Volume Air Sampler": A filtering device for particulate collection, used by the National Air Pollution Control Administration to determine the concentrations of suspended particulates in American urban and rural areas. A glass-fiber medium is used which can filter at the rate of 70 cubic feet per minute. The filter is over 99 percent efficient for the collection of particles as fine as 0.3 um [micrometers] in diameter. High Volume Air Samplers generally run as long as 24 hours without an appreciable increase in airflow resistance. 1, record 2, English, - high%20volume%20air%20sampler
