Cover Story: Sampling on different substrates is common in aerosol research. In our study, collected particles were inspected by electron microscopy before and after exposure in various environments. The extent of sample damage ranged from minor (green) to major (red), depending on the environment, substrate, and particle composition. In several cases, particle samples were defaced completely.
