Abstract
Two types of commercially available microbiological air samplers (model STA-203, New Brunswick Scientific and All-Glass Impingers, Millipore) were used outdoors at an activated sludge treatment plant. The recovery of viable particles with both instruments was increased 3- to 8-fold by shielding the trapping medium from the sun during the sampling process.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
