Popis: There are practical and valid reasons topresent biological field trial referenceresults as agent containing particles per literof air (ACPLA). However, workers in biologicalaerosol research have a need to know how manyviable individual organisms are contained in asingle particle of a given diameter. Anecdotalevidence may exist suggesting that the task hasbeen accomplished but without a way toreplicate the measurements, it is difficult toaccept unsubstantiated claims. It is verydifficult to declare a finite number thatsatisfies all the experimental requirements, asthe problem is a statistical probability issue. This paper describes a method for estimatingthe number with practical instructions forreplicating the work in other laboratories.
