Abstract
This paper describes construction details and operating characteristics of a nebulizer developed by Sidney Laskin and used over a period of 30 yr in various laboratories to generate respirable aerosols for whole‐animal inhalation exposure studies. Under the proper operating conditions, the device is capable of producing nearly monodisperse aerosols in the respirable size range (1.5 μm volume median diameter with a geometric standard deviation of 1.1) for long periods of time.Keywords
