A measured and representative sample of the atmosphere under investigation is drawn through a filter medium suitable for retention and permitting measurement of the particles to be studied. The exposed filter medium is removed from the sampling device and appropriate examination methods are then applied to the collected matter. This provides for determination of mass loading, particle concentration, particle size and size distribution, and particle inspection. The procedure and apparatus described is especially applicable to solid particles; however, the method may be used also to collect liquid particles if droplet size need not be determined. (BLM)
