Development of the personal aerosol sampler matching the respirable curve recommended by the ICRP

A personal aerosol sampler matching the respirable curve recommended by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) is described in this paper. For the personal sampler, the paper sums up the considerations of design, experimental calibration, performance measurement and field application. The sampler is worn near the breathing zone and can separate the respirable particles from the non-respirable particles. Therefore it can provide the reliable data for the evaluation of inhalation hazard. The personal aerosol sampler is small, light, and easy for operation
