Average PM2.5 mass concentration during single chicken defeathering in study of respirable aerosol production and reduction of avian influenza transmission risk during chicken processing, Bangladesh Livestock Research Institute, Savar, Dhaka, 2020. Results reported by Particle and Temperature Sensor Plus monitors (Berkeley Air Monitoring Group, https://berkeleyair.com) are shown for angle position of sensor and time of measurement in seconds: A) 90° angle; B) 180° angle; C) 270° angle. PM2.5, particulate matter <2.5 μm in diameter.
