The  design and calibration of a low speed windtunnel for studying the foliar deposition and uptake of aerosols.
A 2.75 m-long (9 ft.) windtunnel facility to deliver highly toxic aerosols to the foliage of terrestrical plants under safe and well-characterized conditions is described. Flow velocities of 0.1 to 28 cm/sec in the 930 cm2 (1 ft2) cross-section experimental area are attainable. Calibration of this facility using a 198Au-labelled colloidal gold aerosol is presented.
