Dust samples were collected in the flue gas duct of a coal-fired power unit, with either an in-stack cascade impactor or a multistage cyclone system. A comparison of both sampling devices is made by consideration of the mass-size distributions obtained as well as some practical aspects. The cyclone system seems to offer a valid alternative to the cascade impactor, but the suitability of each sampler depends on the particular sampling conditions involved and on the kind of information required.
