title: The Laskin aerosol generator.
abstract: This paper describes construction details and operating characteristics of a nebulizer developed by Sidney Laskin and used over a period of 30 yr in various laboratories to generate respirable aerosols for whole-animal inhalation exposure studies. Under the proper operating conditions, the device is capable of producing nearly monodisperse aerosols in the respirable size range (1.5 micron volume median diameter with a geometric standard deviation of 1.1) for long periods of time
