General techniques for gas sensors and air quality monitors. Wetted surface high efficiency atmosphere particulate collector. A variety of instruments have been devised over the years for the collection of particulates for off-line analysis. These include membrane filters, impactors, elutriators and centrifuges. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages, but one key disadvantage that they all share is that their efficiency varies according to the size of the particles. 1, record 1, English, - particulate%20collector

Dust collection in asphalt plants is mainly concerned with particulate sizes ranging from 1-100 [microns]. Figure 4 shows that about 5% of the cold aggregate is minus 200 mesh. The dust reaching the primary dust collector is about 70% minus 200 mesh and is the fraction of greatest interest in air pollution control. 1, record 2, English, - primary%20dust%20collector
