Design and Performance of a Reliable Personal Monitoring System for Respirable Participates

Year: 1979

Type: article

Abstract: Personal exposure to respirable particulates and sulfates is being measured as a part of a long term prospective epidemiological study of the respiratory health effects of air pollution, the Harvard Six City Study.1 The purpose of this monitoring program is to develop better estimators of actual personal exposure from comparison of the direct measurements of personal exposure with simultaneous measurements of the normally measured outdoor air, the air inside each participant’s home, and records of the daily activities of each participant. Results are reported in a paper by Dockery and Spengler.2
