A multi-filter chemical speciation sampler and a virtual impaction particle separation inlet therefore are provided. The inlet includes a housing having a bottom, a collection tube that extends through the bottom, and collection apertures formed in the bottom, arranged around the collection tube; a first plate disposed on top of the housing, having acceleration nozzles disposed at the perimeter thereof; a second plate disposed in the housing below the first plate, having a central aperture and separation apertures disposed around the central aperture. The sampler includes: an inlet; a virtual impaction separator to further fractionate the PM into a course fraction and a fine fraction; a first separation assembly to divide the course fraction into coarse aliquots, comprising first filters to collect the coarse aliquots; a second separation assembly to divide the fine fraction into fine aliquots, comprising second filters to collect the fine aliquots.

1. A multi-filter chemical speciation sampler, comprising: an inlet to separate particulate matter (PM) having an aerodynamic diameter (AD) of less than a predetermined size from ambient air;a virtual impaction separator connected to the inlet, to fractionate the PM received through the inlet, into a course fraction and a fine fraction;a first separation assembly to divide the course fraction into coarse aliquots, comprising first filters to collect the each of the coarse aliquots; anda second separation assembly to divide the fine fraction into fine aliquots, comprising second filters to collect each of the fine aliquots. 2. The particle sampler of claim 1, wherein the inlet comprises: a real impaction inlet; ora virtual impaction inlet comprising: a housing having a bottom, a collection tube that extends through the bottom, and collection apertures formed in the bottom, arranged around the collection tube;a first plate disposed on top of the housing, having acceleration nozzles disposed around the perimeter of the first plate; anda second plate disposed in the housing below the first plate, having a central aperture disposed on an upstream end the collection tube, and separation apertures disposed around the central aperture and aligned with corresponding ones of the acceleration nozzles. 3. The particle sampler of claim 1, wherein the first separation assembly comprises: a plenum to collect the course fraction from the separator;a drum to house the first filters, to receive the course fraction from the plenum, and to divide the course stream into the course aliquots, such that the first filters can be used to determine a generally complete mass balance of the collected coarse fraction. 4. The particle sampler of claim 3, wherein the plenum is conical and disperses the coarse fraction above an upstream end of the drum, such that the coarse aliquots are homogenously collected on the first filters. 5. The particle sampler of claim 3, wherein the drum comprises: a main body; anda bottom plate disposed on a downstream end of the main body and having apertures,wherein the first filters are seated in the apertures of the bottom plate and face the plenum. 6. The particle sampler of claim 1, wherein: the majority of the PM in the course fraction has an AD of from about 2.5 μm to about 10 μm; andthe majority of the PM in the fine fraction has an AD of less than about 2.5 μm. 7. The particle sampler of claim 1, wherein the first separation assembly comprises: a flow splitter to divide the fine stream into fine sub-streams, wherein the second filters collect the PM from corresponding ones of the fine sub-streams. 8. The particle sampler of claim 7, wherein the predetermined size of the AD is less than about 10 μm. 9. The particle sampler of claim 1, further comprising a bypass to control airflow to the first or second filters. 10. The particle sampler of claim 1, wherein the first filters comprise at least 2 different types of filters.
