Dear Charles. C,

                          Currently we are using settling plate method for environmental monitoring (Exposure Time - 20 mins)

Is this ok for monitoring? Any changes required for exposure time?

Settle plates are maybe popular due to simplicity. However the impact methods are perhaps more reproducible (just guessing).

ISO have issued a standard procedure for this but IIRC do not suggest any limits.
