Popis: The collection efficiency of Whatman 41 filter paper has been determined using submicron test aerosols of monodispersed polystyrene latex. Measurements were made over a velocity range of 12 to 195 fpm, using aerosols with diameters of 0.088, 0.188, 0.264, 0.365, and 0.557 mu . For sizes less than 0.557 mu , well-developed efficiency minima occur in the velocity range of 20 to 30 fpm. In no case was the efficiency found to be below 70%. At 195 fpm, the efficiency was essentially size-independent. (auth)
