Title: Exposure estimates from personal lapel monitors

Journal Article · · Am. Ind. Hyg. Assoc. J.; (United States)

For uniformly dispersed aerosols, no bias results from locating a monitor on the lapel or chest when estimating inhalation exposure. Where different results have been noted for different sampler positions, factors such as resuspended dust, spatial concentration variability, and electrostatic charges may be involved. Errors may result from electrostatic charge accumulated by plastic filter cassette holders.
