Figure 3. Bias map for the 10-mm nylon cyclone (operated at 1.7 L/min) compared with the respirable convention [33]. The contour lines represent percent bias for specific lognormal size distributions. The calculation of this map is based on laboratory measurement of cyclone penetration and can be used with measured field size distributions to estimate sampling bias.
