Personnel or area dosimeter for polynuclear aromatic vapors

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5181868
A new passive dosimeter has been developed for monitoring airborne vapors and liquid aerosols of potentially hazardous polynuclear aromatic compounds. The device is a self-contained, badge-size unit that passively collects on filter paper the compounds to be monitored at a diffusion-controlled rate. Collection is followed by in-situ, room temperature phosphorescence analysis of the compounds adsorbed on the dosimeter. The dosimeter can detect pyrene, phenanthrene, and quinoline at sub-part-per-billion levels for an eight-hour exposure.
