Testing was performed in 1992 by the U.S. Army to determine a DOP replacement candidate material for use in “Hot” mono-dispersed aerosol filter penetrometers. The results of that study concluded that PAO-4 (Emery 3004) was an acceptable replacement for DOP in not only mono-dispersed “Hot” testing, but in poly-dispersed “Cold” testing applications as well. The full text of that report is available at CRDEC-TR-333.
