| Preferred label | TSI Nanoparticle Surface Area Monitor 3550 |
| Definition | The Nanoparticle Surface Area Monitor 3550 (NSAM) measures the human lung-deposited surface area of particles (reported as µm 2 /cm 3 ) corresponding to tracheobronchial (TB) and alveolar (A) regions of the lung. The NSAM 3550 provides a simple and fast solution for measuring the surface area equivalent dose in the lung. It is an important instrument for research in the fields of inhalation toxicology health effects and epidemiology and for measuring and monitoring workplace exposure. |
