Design and use of an exposure chamber for air pollution studies on microarthropods
Journal Article
·
· Environ. Entomol.; (United States)
An exposure chamber for studying the effects of air pollution on microarthropods is described. The chamber was tested on a corticolous mite, Humerobates rostrolamellatus Grandjean (Acari: Oribatida). In the absence of pollutants, the overall mortality was about 2.5%.
