An Apparatus for the Exposure of Plants to Selected Particulate Aerosols

A simple, inexpensive apparatus is described for the generation of particulate aerosols of known identity with aerodynamic size distributions characteristic of urban atmospheres. Means for using this system for the exposure of plants to selected lead aerosols are described. The design offers improve...

Description
Summary:A simple, inexpensive apparatus is described for the generation of particulate aerosols of known identity with aerodynamic size distributions characteristic of urban atmospheres. Means for using this system for the exposure of plants to selected lead aerosols are described. The design offers improvements over other systems used for similar purposes.
