Preferred Label : collection efficiency;
Detailed label : collection efficiency in atmospheric chemistry;
IUPAC definition : A term which characterizes an entire sampling and sample pretreatment procedure, usually
represented as a percentage of the original amount of the analyte which is left for
measurement (signal formation) after having passed through this procedure. This term
also applies to the efficiency of collection of an air pollutant by an arrestment
plant. For particulates, the collection efficiency is size related.;
