title: A new mass sensor for respirable dust measurement.
abstract: A new portable instrument measures mass concentration in the 100 mug/m3 range of airborne dust particles smaller than 10 mum. An electrostatic precipitator desposits particles as small as 0.01 mum onto a piezoelectric micro-balance sensor. The instrument utilizes digital readout and a built-in sensor cleaner.
