Abstract

Applying radio‐isotope ^32^P, the distribution of bacterial cells retained within glass‐fibre air sterilization filters was measured. In particular, the time‐dependence of the radial as well as the longitudinal distribution was studied. The collection efficiency of glass‐fibre was obtained and the experimental result was compared with a theoretical value based upon the sum of interception, inertia and diffusion. Discrepancies could not be accounted for and are similar to those in the literature. An equation was proposed for the estimation of air filter life. This was not completely verified but leads to some suggestive results.

## Abstract Probability theory has been applied to the analysis of bacterial distribution within a fibrous air sterilization filter. For a long filter layer, to which the so‐called ‘log‐penetration’ law is no longer applicable, the probability theory is considered to be effective in interpreting th
