A review of a recommended method for inducing and measuring particulate mi gration is given and refinements to the method are suggested. Statistical analysis of experimental data shows that the use of a watch glass migration chamber that is sat urated with water vapor can lead to slightly higher values of particulate migration than can the use of an unsaturated chamber.
