Thoracic Fraction (PM<sub>10</sub>) of Resuspended Urban Dust: Geochemistry, Particle Size Distribution and Lung Bioaccessibility

A fluidized bed aerosol generator was connected to a 13-stage cascade impactor (nanoMOUDI) for the size fractionation of urban dust (<10 µm), followed by the gravimetric analysis of loaded PTFE filter samples. This method was used to characterize the PM<sub>10</sub> (thoracic) fractio...
