Evaluation of the particle infiltration efficiency of three passive samplers and the PS-1 active air sample

Highlights •The particle infiltration efficiencies (PIEs) of 4 common air samplers were evaluated. •Online spectrophotometer was used to measure PIEs for ambient 250–4140 nm particles. •GAPS, Lancaster, and Hi-Vol acquired representative ambient particle samples. •A low PIE of 54 ± 8.0% was determined for the MONET passive sampler.
