摘要

Current particulate matter (PM) exposure studies are using continuous personalrnnephelometers (pDR-1000, MIE, Inc.) to measure human exposure to PM. The personalrnnephelometer is a passive sampler which uses light scattering technology to measurernparticles ranging in size from 0.1-10 μm using a light scattering technique, however, it isrnmore responsive to particles in the fine particle size range (0.3 – 2 μm). While the datarnfrom the nephelometer remain semi-quantitative, the instrument is very useful forrnidentifying activities and microenvironments that may significantly enhance humanrnexposure to PM. Based on the use of this instrument in the field, we recognize that it isrnimportant to identify activities or environments that may have an adverse effect on therninstrument’s response and subsequent data quality. We have tested the nephelometersrnresponse to sample vest fabric (cotton/polyester or nylon), sampler location on anrnindividual (shoulder vs. waist), and relative humidity. Repeated scripted activities whilernwearing a 50-50 cotton/polyester or a nylon vest indicated that significantly morernparticles (p < 0.01) were introduced by the cotton/polyester vest than the nylon vest. Thernlocation of the monitor was weakly significantly different (p < 0.1) for many commonrnactivities, and significantly higher particle readings were observed at the waist (p < 0.02)rnwhile sweeping. After being exposed to relative humidity levels ranging from 40% torn90% at 21℃ and from 40% to 60% relative humidity at 32℃, monitors equilibratedrnwith stationary monitors within 2 to 3 minutes. Recovery took 5 to 15 minutes at relativernhumidity ranging from 80% to 85% at 32℃. Some monitors had problems recoveringrnafter being exposed to 90% relative humidity (32℃). Although some activities appearedrnto affect the response of the nephelometer, they were easily identified and the overall datarnquality was not likely to be compromised.
