Objective:
The Analytical and Facilities Core of the particulate matter (PM) Center supported the development of a wide variety of technologies useful for Center Projects and also useful for other studies of particle health effects, all of which have resulted in peer-reviewed publications or manuscripts currently are in preparation. Two especially important technologies to be developed are the multi-pollutant sampler and the ultrafine particle concentrator.
