Research abstract
An electrostatic precipitation-based aerosol collector will be designed, constructed, tested, and fine-tuned with the aim of demonstrating the practicality of a low-power system capable of sampling air at a rate of >500 liters/minute and collectingtherefrom >80% of particles 1-10 microns in size into a small volume [<10 ml] of an aqueous medium. The collector will be marketed for wide distribution among military and civilian personnel and for other defensive and domestic preparedness needs. Theimproved bio-aerosol collector that will result from this R&D will greatly strengthen the military and civilian defense capabilities against biological warfare agents and will therefore have widespread commercial applications.
