NIOSH Manual of Analytical Methods. Fourth Edition.

PB95154191

Publication Date	1994
Personal Author	Eller, P. M.; Cassinelli, M. E.
Page Count	1574
Abstract	The manual provided information on sampling and analytical methods for monitoring occupational exposures to toxic substances in air and biological samples. The monitoring methods discussed in this edition included those for the collection of aerosols, gases, and vapors in air with active samplers such as filters, sorbent tubes and impingers, and laboratory analysis. Also considered were diffusion samplers and direct reading field instruments. For each method, information was provided on sampling and measurement parameters, limit of detection, working range, precision, and interferences. An accuracy estimate was provided for each method discussed. Discussions of specific topics of general interest were also included, such as method development and evaluation, and discussions of some portable direct reading instrumentation.
