Additional collection efficiency studies were also done using Gelman GN-4 filters for the collection of Pb fume, which had geometric mean diameter of 0.1 µm [2]. Mean collection efficiency for 24 sampling runs at flow rates between 0.15 and 4.0 L/min was> 97 ± 2%. Overall precision, rT, was 0.072 for lead nitrate aerosol [1,9] and 0.068 for Pb fume [2,4].
