DIN EN ISO 13138:2012-04

Sampling conventions are presented for defining idealized samplers for estimating the deposition of non volatile, non-hygroscopic, non-fibrous aerosols in 5 specific loci of the respiratory tract as computed according to a model developed by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP). The conventions complement ISO 7708 which specifies particle penetration conventions (inhalable, thoracic, and respirable) currently in use internationally for determining compliance with permissible occupational exposure levels for aerodynamic diameter larger than 0,1 micrometre.
