c. Particles. Contaminants in the form of particulate may be sampled in several
ways, depending on the size of the individual particles.
(1) Impingement or impactors. These devices require a means of collecting

particles strike various surfaces due to inertia, and are collected on these surfaces.
Such devices sometimes employ a medium, on which the particles impinge and are
