Effect of altitude on personal respirable dust sampler calibration.
Air sampling instruments often are used at altitudes other than the altitude at which they were calibrated. This investigation quantitates the effect of personal samplers and provides empirical relationships for adjusting the calibration mark for use at any altitude.
