Abstract
A wind tunnel system is configured to assess insecticides. The system includes: a chamber having an inlet configured to receive a gas flowing into the chamber and an outlet configured to output the gas from the chamber; an inlet filter configured to filter the gas flowing into the chamber; an outlet filter configured to filter the gas flowing out of the chamber; an aerosol generator configured to generate an insecticide aerosol downstream from the inlet filter; an insect container holder configured to secure an insect container in the chamber downstream from the aerosol generator and upstream from the outlet filter; and an airflow controller configured to flow the gas into the inlet and out of the outlet of the chamber such that the insecticide aerosol flows through an insect container in the chamber.
