“…In 2012-2013, a previous study (Sugita et al, 2019) also collected the PM2.5 samples between the low and high-volume air sampler to compare the R 2 , and it was also higher than 0.67 in the water-soluble ions. Patel et al (2021) was also used PM2.5 WINS impactor and Tisch PM2.5 high-volume air sampler to evaluate the difference between the two methods.

To evaluate the difference in hazardous air pollutants in PM2.5 between reference method (National Institute of Environmental Analysis; NIEA A205) and high-volume air sampler (European standard:EN14907 and Japan method), we set up a sampling station on the campus of National Yang-Ming Chiao Tung University, northern Taiwan, during 2014-2015. Both vapor and solid phases of dioxins were collected using high-volume samplers, according to EN14907 and Japan method. The flow rate was set at 500 L min -1 and 1000 L min -1 , respectively. To compare the difference with the high-volume air sampler, we simultaneously used the reference air sampler based on Taiwan NIEA A205.11C, at the flow rate of 16.7 L min -1 (BGI PQ200-FRM). The mass concentrations of PM2.5 measured with NIEA A205, EN14907, and Japan method were 20.2 ± 8.79, 25.4 ± 10.5 and 28.6 ± 13.9 µg m -3 , respectively. The difference of the mass concentration of PM2.5 obtained from two different methods was lower than 3.9%. Moreover, the concentrations of PCDD/F between solid and vapor phases were 56.9-1,090 and 38.6-67.1 fg m -3 via EN14907 and 51.1-1,150 and 18.4-81.8 fg m -3 via Japan method, respectively. Obviously, there is no significant difference between these two samplers. Compared to the method of NIEA, high volume air sampling method not only provided equivalently good quality data but offer a higher sample quantity for analyzing the trace level chemical component of hazardous air pollutants and the toxicity in different areas.

“…Atmospheric particulate matter (PM or aerosol) with aerodynamic diameters ≤ 10 μm (PM 10 ) can contain a wide range of chemical components that depend on the emission sources and atmospheric processing. − Metals, inorganic ions, organic aerosols, and elemental carbon can be constituents of PM. − Even though metals often make up only a relatively small part of aerosol mass, they are very good tracers of a high number of different sources and processes. Metals originate from mixtures of gas- and particle-bound species from high temperature incineration and combustion of fossil fuels, wood, combustion plants, motor vehicle emissions, as well as from abrasion of tires or brake linings, road dust, crustal weathering, and natural processes. , Depending on their size, particles can be deposited in various places of the respiratory tract after inhalation. , The inhalation of aerosol metals such as As, Cd, Ni, and Pb can cause damage to the pulmonary, cardiovascular and nervous systems, and liver and enhance mortality. ,− …”

The Sa rajevo Canton Winter Fi eld Ca mpaign 2018 (SAFICA) was a project that took place in winter 2017–2018 with an aim to characterize the chemical composition of aerosol in the Sarajevo Canton, Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), which has one of the worst air qualities in Europe. This paper presents the first characterization of the metals in PM 10 (particulate matter aerodynamic diameters ≤10 μm) from continuous filter samples collected during an extended two-months winter period at the urban background Sarajevo and remote Ivan Sedlo sites. We report the results of 18 metals detected by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ETAAS). The average mass concentrations of metals were higher at the Sarajevo site than at Ivan Sedlo and ranged from 0.050 ng/m 3 (Co) to 188 ng/m 3 (Fe) and from 0.021 ng/m 3 (Co) to 61.8 ng/m 3 (Fe), respectively. The BenMAP-CE model was used for estimating the annual BiH health (50% decrease in PM 2.5 would save 4760+ lives) and economic benefits (costs of $2.29B) of improving the air quality. Additionally, the integrated energy and health assessment with the ExternE model provided an initial estimate of the additional health cost of BiH’s energy system.

“…Staplex TFIA-2 High volume Sampler: The primary benefits of this sampler, compared to another low-volume sampler with a flow rate of 16.67 lpm, include reduced uncertainty in mass measurement, increased collection of particle mass, and shorter sampling duration [276]. Sotty et al (2019) utilised the High-Volume Impactor Sampler (HVIS) for the sampling of fine-sized particulate fractions, with an aerodynamic diameter ranging from 0.18 µm to 2.5 µm (PM 0.18-2.5 ) through impaction, and ultrafine fraction particles with aerodynamic diameters less than 0.18 µm (PM 0.18 ) through filtering on polycarbonate A4-sized membranes [273].…”

Airborne particulate matter (PM) is of great concern in the modern-day atmosphere owing to its association with a variety of health impacts, such as respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. Of the various size fractions of PM, it is the finer fractions that are most harmful to health, in particular ultrafine particles (PM0.1; UFPs), with an aerodynamic diameter ≤ 100 nm. The smaller size fractions, of ≤2.5 µm (PM2.5; fine particles) and ≤0.1 µm (PM0.1; ultrafine particles), have been shown to have numerous linkages to negative health effects; however, their collection/sampling remains challenging. This review paper employed a comprehensive literature review methodology; 200 studies were evaluated based on the rigor of their methodologies, including the validity of experimental designs, data collection methods, and statistical analyses. Studies with robust methodologies were prioritised for inclusion. This review paper critically assesses the health risks associated with fine and ultrafine particles, highlighting vehicular emissions as the most significant source of particulate-related health effects. While coal combustion, diesel exhaust, household wood combustors’ emissions, and Earth’s crust dust also pose health risks, evidence suggests that exposure to particulates from vehicular emissions has the greatest impact on human health due to their widespread distribution and contribution to air pollution-related diseases. This article comprehensively examines current sampling technologies, specifically focusing on the collection and sampling of ultrafine particles (UFP) from ambient air to facilitate toxicological and physiochemical characterisation efforts. This article discusses diverse approaches to collect fine and ultrafine particulates, along with experimental endeavours to assess ultrafine particle concentrations across various microenvironments. Following meticulous evaluation of sampling techniques, high-volume air samplers such as the Chem Vol Model 2400 High Volume Cascade Impactor and low-volume samplers like the Personal Cascade Impactor Sampler (PCIS) emerge as effective methods. These techniques offer advantages in particle size fractionation, collection efficiency, and adaptability to different sampling environments, positioning them as valuable tools for precise characterisation of particulate matter in air quality research and environmental monitoring.
