Self-Absorption Effects on Air Filters

[elizabeth_algutifan@wssrap-host.wssrap.com]

     To refine my request:
     
     Is there a specific procedure, series of equations, or methodology (a 
     cookbook recipe would be nice) that defines how to evaluate alpha 
     self-absorption effects on air filters? The filters I'm interested in 
     are mixed esters of cellulose and the pumps they are attached to pull 
     40 liters per minute.
     
     Thanks,

     Radsafers,
     Can anyone recommend some references that cover the issue of alpha 
     self-absorption corrections for air monitoring results?  Thanks for 
     your help.
