Comparison of two methods for measuring the deposition of indoor dust

Abstract

This paper examines the suitability of glass slides and sticky surfaces to monitor deposition of dust indoors. Sticky surfaces have the advantage of offering less opportunity for loss of deposited dust and, provided photo‐electric methods can be applied, they are relatively efficient to analyse. The power of modern computer‐aided image analysis increasingly allows more information on particle number and area coverage to be gathered. Although dust deposited on glass is more easily lost, the results are rapidly measured in terms of loss of gloss. This method may well offer a particularly useful measure of the effect of soiling on polished surfaces such as furniture.
