What is claimed is: 1. A porous-metal denuder comprising: a cascade impactor comprising at least a first stage nozzle having an inlet, a first impactor, a second stage nozzle, and a second stage impactor, a first gas collecting element comprising a first holder cover, a first porous metal disc, and
What is claimed is: 1. A porous-metal denuder comprising: a cascade impactor comprising at least a first stage nozzle having an inlet, a first impactor, a second stage nozzle, and a second stage impactor, a first gas collecting element comprising a first holder cover, a first porous metal disc, and a first holder base; a second gas collecting element comprising a second holder cover, a second porous metal disc, and a second holder base; a casing; a filter; and a filter holder provided with an outlet, wherein the first stage nozzle, the first impactor, the second stage nozzle, the second stage impactor, the first holder cover, the first holder base, the casing and the filter holder all have a hollow tubular body and they are so constructed such that they are able to be substantially hermetically connected with one another in sequence, creating a path in the connected tubular bodies, and thus a gas stream can flow into the inlet through the path and out from the outlet, wherein the first impactor is provided with a first porous substrate perpendicular to the path, so that the gas stream entering the inlet will hit the first porous substrate and flow around the first porous substrate, and aerosol particles larger than 10 μm in the gas stream will be collected by the first porous substrate, part of particles will penetrate into the first porous substrate to avoid piling up of a particle mound on the first porous substrate, the second impactor is provided with a second porous substrate perpendicular to the path, so that the gas stream leaving the first impactor will hit the second porous substrate and flow around the second porous substrate, and aerosol particles larger than 2.5 μm in the gas stream will be collected by the second porous substrate, part of particles will penetrate into the second porous substrate to avoid piling up of a particle mound on the second porous substrate, the first porous metal disc is clamped between the first holder cover and the first holder base, so that substantially all the gas stream leaving the second impactor will contact and penetrate through the first porous metal disc, wherein the first porous metal disc is coated with a first absorbent for absorbing basic gas entrained in the fluid steam, the second porous metal disc is clamped between the second holder cover and the second holder base, so that substantially all the gas stream leaving the first porous metal disc will contact and penetrate through the second porous metal disc, wherein the second porous metal disc is coated with a second absorbent for absorbing acidic gases entrained in the fluid steam, and the filter is clamped between the casing and the filer holder, so that substantially all the gas stream leaving the second porous metal disc will contact and penetrate through the filter before exiting the outlet, and aerosol particles smaller than 2.5 μm not collected by the cascade impactor, will penetrate the two porous metal discs and be collected by the filter. 2. The denuder of claim 1, wherein the first porous substrate is supported at the center of the hollow tubular body of the first impactor and gaps are formed between the first porous substrate and the hollow tubular body of the first impactor. 3. The denuder of claim 2, wherein the first porous substrate has a thickness of about 0.3 cm and a pore size of about 100 μm. 4. The denuder of claim 1, wherein the second porous substrate is supported at the center of the hollow tubular body of the second impactor and gaps are formed between the second porous substrate and the hollow tubular body of the second impactor. 5. The denuder of claim 4, wherein the second porous substrate has a thickness of about 0.3 cm and a pore size of about 100 μm. 6. The denuder of claim 1, wherein the first porous metal disc has a thickness of about 0.3 cm and a pore size of about 100 μm. 7. The denuder of claim 1, wherein the first absorbent on the first porous metal disc comprises citric acid. 8. The denuder of claim 1, wherein the second porous metal disc has a thickness of about 0.3 cm and a pore size of about 100 μm. 9. The denuder of claim 1, wherein the second absorbent on the second porous metal disc comprises sodium carbonate. 10. The denuder of claim 1, wherein the first stage nozzle, the first impactor, the second stage nozzle, the second stage impactor, the first holder cover, the first holder base, the second holder cover, the second holder base, the casing and the filter holder are made of Teflon®.
