| Abstract |
Description of the Monsanto passive dosimeter in which the collection medium is a porous polymer contained in a removable element that is analysed by thermal desorption/gas chromatography. Details are given of the laboratory evaluation of the dosimeter's performance in measuring atmospheric concentrations of acrylonitrile (effects of orientation, air velocity, concentration, sampling duration, high concentrations, short exposure times and profiled exposure). Results of field trials in a manufacturing chemical plant environment are also reported. Application of the dosimeter to the measurement of other organic pollutants is also considered. |
