Quantification of Cigarette Smoke Particle Deposition In Vitro Using a Triplicate Quartz Crystal Microbalance Exposure Chamber
Figure 3
Triplicate QCM deposition data. (a) An individual value plot showing deposited particle mass quantification of ISO whole smoke (9.4 mg) diluted in the range 1 : 5–1 : 400 (smoke : air, v/v), /position. (b) A multi-vari chart of mean deposited mass at all five dilutions 1 : 5–1 : 400. The chart shows the average distribution of particulate deposition around the chamber within the range tested, from 25 values (5 dilutions at /dilution). There was no statistically significant difference in deposition between the three QCM positions.
