Abstract

Accurate measurements are critical for timely early warning and effective prevention of epidemics due to the continuing impact of bioaerosols on human health. In recent years, researchers have been focused on developing and calibrating online monitoring instruments. However, there is still a lack of laboratory-generated standard aerosol samples suitable for calibration. Therefore, in this study, we utilized a self-developed Ink Jet Aerosol Generator (H-IJAG) to achieve controllable generation of monodisperse aerosol standard particles. The Aerosol Particle Size Spectrometer (APSS, TOPAS 323) was employed as the particle detector. The diameter of the droplet was calculated by measuring the projected area of the droplet in the same image using Image-J software. Experimental results demonstrated that under standardized inkjet parameters, H-IJAG exhibited good reliability and reproducibility, and generated solid particles within (0.4–15) μm. To better simulate the laser-induced fluorescence emission properties of ambient bioaerosol, tryptophan (Trp) and 7-hydroxycoumarin-4-acetic acid (7-HCA) were selected as solutes of the laboratory-generated aerosol samples, which are known bio-fluorescent materials. According to the law of propagation of uncertainty, the relative uncertainty of the volume equivalent diameter of Trp and 7-HCA solid particles by H-IJAG were 0.42 %, while the relative uncertainty of the particle number concentrations of Trp and 7-HCA solid particles generated by H-IJAG were 1.4 %. This optimized IJAG technique provides a promising solution for the accurate calibration of bioaerosol monitors.
