Mesure de la concentration massique. C'est, pour l'essentiel, l'utilisation de la filtration qui permet d'obtenir à moindre coût une caractérisation de la masse totale des particules présentes dans un volume d'air donné. La masse d'aérosol prélevé sera alors déterminée par pesée sous atmosphère contrôlée. 1, record 2, French, - masse%20d%27a%C3%A9rosol
