The Ultrasonic Personal Aerosol Sampler (UPAS) is a small, lightweight, and quiet sampler that collects airborne particulate matter on a filter for gravimetric or compositional analysis. The objective of this work was to develop UPAS inlets with collection efficiencies that match criteria for respirable or thoracic mass sampling. The two-stage inlet for respirable mass described here utilizes an impaction stage and a cyclone, whereas the one-stage inlet for thoracic mass sampling utilizes a circular slot impactor. Inlet designs are based on particle collection theory used in conjunction with an optimization algorithm to predict initial inlet dimensions; these predictions were the starting points for experiments that finalized dimensions and operating conditions. Both the respirable mass inlet and the thoracic mass inlet described here are interchangeable with the UPAS, and both have efficiencies that match well with their respective standards. With either inlet, the collected sample should be within +/- 5% of what the standard specifies for aerosols with reasonably broad size distributions.
