Described herein are air flow systems, devices and methods for monitoring airbome agents (e.g., microorganisms, radioactivity, chemical toxins). These systems, devices, and methods include airborne agent collectors for collecting (e.g., trapping) and detecting an airbome agent(s), and typically also identifying the airbome agent(s).Airborne agent collectors for collecting and detecting the presence and/or identification of an airbome agent(s) include a soluble and hydrophilic polycaprolactone (PCL) that has been treated with a base (e.g., a base having a pH greater than 8 (e.g., NaOH, NaHC03, KOH, Na2C03, and CA(OH)2) and in some embodiments, also treated with a neutralizing agent for increasing hydrophilicity. |
