Abstract
The GCA RDM 101-1 has been evaluated using aerosols of coal, Arizona road dust, silica, potash, and rock (copper ore) particles. The effects of the dust mass concentration, particle size distribution, and dust material on the instrument response were investigated. The instrument was found to measure the mass concentrations of respirable dust aerosols up to about 16 mg/m3 for coal and rock dust and about 20 mg/m3 for silica, potash, and Arizona road dust, providing there is not appreciable mass in the size range below approximately 0.7 µm aerodynamic diameter.Keywords
