The measurement of aerosol dusts has long been utilized to assess the exposure of workers to metals. Tools used to sample and measure aerosol dusts have gone through many transitions over the past century. In particular, there have been several different techniques used to sample for beryllium, not all of which might be expected to produce the same result. Today, beryllium samples are generally collected using filters housed in holders of several different designs, some of which are expected to produce a sample that mimics the human capacity for dust inhalation. The presence of dust on the interior walls of cassettes used to hold filters during metals sampling has been discussed in the literature for a number of metals, including beryllium, with widely varying data. It appears that even in the best designs, particulates can enter the sampling cassette and deposit on the interior walls rather than on the sampling medium. The causes are not well understood but are believed to include particle bounce, electrostatic forces, particle size, particle density, and airflow turbulence. Historically, the filter catch has been considered to be the sample, but the presence of wall deposits, and the potential that the filter catch is not representative of the exposure to the worker, puts that historical position into question. This leads to a fundamental question: What is the sample? This article reviews the background behind the issue, poses the above-mentioned question, and discusses options and a possible path forward for addressing that question.

封闭式滤盒中壁沉积物的真正问题-样品是什么?

长期以来,气溶胶粉尘的测量一直用于评估工人暴露于金属中的程度。在过去的一个世纪中,用于采样和测量气溶胶粉尘的工具经历了许多转变。尤其是,已经有几种不同的技术用于采样铍,并非所有的技术都有望产生相同的结果。如今,铍样品通常是使用装在几种不同设计的容器中的过滤器收集的,其中一些过滤器有望产生可模拟人类粉尘吸入能力的样品。关于金属采样期间用于固定过滤器的盒子内壁上的灰尘的存在,已经在文献中讨论了包括铍在内的多种金属,数据差异很大。看来,即使是最好的设计,颗粒会进入采样盒并沉积在内壁而不是采样介质上。原因尚不十分清楚,但据认为包括颗粒弹跳,静电力,颗粒大小,颗粒密度和气流湍流。从历史上看,过滤器捕获物被认为是样本,但是壁沉积物的存在以及过滤器捕获物不能代表工人受到的暴露的可能性使该历史地位受到质疑。这引出了一个基本问题:样本是什么?本文回顾了问题背后的背景,提出了上述问题,并讨论了解决该问题的选项和可能的前进方向。原因尚不十分清楚,但据认为包括颗粒弹跳,静电力,颗粒大小,颗粒密度和气流湍流。从历史上看,过滤器捕获物被认为是样本,但是壁沉积物的存在以及过滤器捕获物不能代表工人受到的暴露的可能性使该历史地位受到质疑。这引出了一个基本问题:样本是什么?本文回顾了问题背后的背景,提出了上述问题,并讨论了解决该问题的选项和可能的前进方向。原因尚不十分清楚,但据认为包括颗粒弹跳,静电力,颗粒大小,颗粒密度和气流湍流。从历史上看,过滤器捕获物被认为是样本,但是壁沉积物的存在以及过滤器捕获物不能代表工人受到的暴露的可能性使该历史地位受到质疑。这引出了一个基本问题:样本是什么?本文回顾了问题背后的背景,提出了上述问题,并讨论了解决该问题的选项和可能的前进方向。并且滤网捕获物不能代表对工人的暴露的可能性,使该历史地位受到质疑。这引出了一个基本问题:样本是什么?本文回顾了问题背后的背景,提出了上述问题,并讨论了解决该问题的选项和可能的前进方向。并且滤网捕获物不能代表对工人的暴露的可能性,使该历史地位受到质疑。这引出了一个基本问题:样本是什么?本文回顾了问题背后的背景,提出了上述问题,并讨论了解决该问题的选项和可能的前进方向。
