We designed two new samplers for monitoring airborne particulates, including fungal and fern spores and plant pollen, that rely on natural wind currents (Passive Environmental Sampler) or a battery operated fan (Active Environmental Sampler). Both samplers are modeled after commercial devices such as the Rotorod® and the Burkard® samplers, but are more economical and require less maintenance than commercial devices. We conducted wind tunnel comparisons of our two new samplers to Rotorod® samplers using synthetic polyethylene spheres (12 - 160 µm in diameter) to compare numbers and size range of particulates that are captured by the samplers. This dataset contains raw numbers of polyethylene spheres that were captured by the samplers during eight separate trials in a sealed room with constant recirculating air flow.

Both samplers are modeled after commercial devices such as the Rotorod® and the Burkard® samplers, but are more economical and require less maintenance than commercial devices. We compared our two new samplers to Rotorod® samplers using Xyleborus spp. boring dust (frass) known to contain fungi responsible for Rapid Ohia Death. The comparison was done in a large outdoor field cage to determine relative effectiveness of the three samplers for capturing windblown boring dust. The dataset contains measurements of boring dust particles that were captured by the three types of samples over the course of twelve trials.

We compared our two new samplers to Rotorod® samplers using Xyleborus spp. boring dust known to contain ROD causing pathogens. The comparison was done in a large outdoor field cage to determine relative effectiveness of the three samplers for capturing windblown boring dust. The dataset contains results of quantitative PCR (qPCR) tests to determine presence of Ceratocystis lukuohia, Ceratocystis huliohia, and Metrosideros polymorpha DNA in the samplers after release of boring dust over the course of twelve trials where position of samplers was rotated.

황사관측(PM10)는 대기 중에 부유하는 에어로졸 중 직경이 10㎛ 이하인 입자의 농도를 연속 측정합니다. 먼지(황사 포함)가 필터에 침적되고, 동위원소 C-14에서 방출되는 베타선을 필터 여지에 쏘아 감쇄된 베타선을 검출기로 측정하여 황사의 농도를 산출합니다. 생산주기: 분(5분), 시간 보유기간: 2003년 4월~현재(지점별 상이함)
