A device reduces particulate from \( 8.4 \) g/m\(^3\) to \( 0.21 \) g/m\(^3\). Its collection efficiency is

  • A.97.5 per cent
  • B.75.0 per cent
  • C.2.5 per cent
  • D.40.0 per cent

Answer: A

The efficiency is \( (8.4-0.21)/8.4 = 0.975 \). Efficiency figures alone can mislead, since a device at 97.5 per cent still passes a fifth of a gram per cubic metre, and it is the outlet concentration that a standard is written against.
