Cotton dust concentrations and particle size distributions associated with genotypes.
The problem of byssinosis has plagued cotton textile mills for hundreds of years, and it is still a problem today. With the regulations on airborne raw cotton dust set by OSHA and the ACGIH, research regarding the measurement of cotton dust in lint fiber is a necessity. A procedure known as the mass concentration particle size distribution (MCPSD) technique, developed at Texas A&M University, w...
متن کاملExtinction Coefficients for Multimodal Atmospheric Particle Size Distributions
A chart was developed which gives the volume-normalized extinction coefficient for log-normally modelled, multimodal particle volume distributions. The real part of the particle refractive index ranges from 1.30 to 1.70. Two adjustment charts modify the main chart for an imaginary part of the refractive index different from 0.02, and for a geometric standard deviation of the modal volume distri...
متن کاملExplosion dust particle size measurements.
In situ measurements of the sizes and concentrations of dust particles generated by the detonation of high explosives in clay soil near Leesville, La., sandy clay soil near Huntsville, Ala., and sandy soils near Orogrande, N.M. are reported. Measurements were generally made within 1 m of the surface (in one case 10 m) at distances ranging from 10 to approximately 50 m from the detonation point ...
متن کاملIn Situ Sampling of Relative Dust Devil Particle Loads and Their Vertical Grain Size Distributions.
During a field campaign in the Sahara Desert in southern Morocco, spring 2012, we sampled the vertical grain size distribution of two active dust devils that exhibited different dimensions and intensities. With these in situ samples of grains in the vortices, it was possible to derive detailed vertical grain size distributions and measurements of the lifted relative particle load. Measurements ...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Dust Particle Analyzer for In- situ and Simultaneous Measurements of Size and Charge Distributions of Martian Dust
In this report we present our progress of the NRA 02-OSS-01 project on the development of a prototype Dust Particle Analyzer (DPA) and its performance under simulated Martian atmospheric conditions. Both theoretical analysis assuming the predicted environmental conditions of Mars and experimental data on the development of the DPA show that the instrument has an excellent potential for its appl...
