["Joe Alvarez" <jalvarez@auxier.com>]

Since you are using membrane filters, three good references are

Hoover, M.D., Fencl, A.F., Newton, G.J.  Performance qualification tests of 
the Millipore AW-19 membrane filter for air sampling, Report ITRI-97050, 
Lovelace Respiratory Research Institute, Albuquerque, NM; 1997

Hoover, M.D., Fencl, A.F., Newton, G.J.  Laboratory test results on 
Collection efficiency of the Gelman Versapor 3000 filter for 0.3 um 
aerodynamic diameter particles, Report ITRI-970502, Lovelace Respiratory 
Research Institute, Albuquerque, NM; 1997

Hoover, M.D., Newton, G.J. Update on selection and use of filter media in 
continuous air monitors for alpha-emitting radionuclides. In: Annual Report 
of the Inhalation Toxicology Research Institute for 1991-1992.  LMF-138,
