Figure 3.

Aerosolized fluorescein collected by BioSampler and measured using fluorometric analysis. Error bars show 1 SD in each direction. (A) Experiments using the air-turbine handpiece in the open-plan setting (all with suction). Data adjusted for background fluorescence by subtraction of the background reading (25.2 relative fluorescence units [RFU]; n = 12) from all data. (B) Experiments using the ultrasonic scaler in the single-surgery setting. Data adjusted for background fluorescence by subtraction of the background reading (25.8 RFU; n = 12) from all data. LEV, local exhaust ventilation.
