Diffusive sampling has been a focus of keen interest because this method will enable personal monitoring of exposure of a worker to industrial chemicals, especially organic solvents, with no interference with his/her job. Efforts have been made in this laboratory to develop diffusive samplers for monitoring exposure to various solvents. Carbon cloth KF-1500 was proved to be suitable for monitoring of all solvents studied but for acetone, ethanol and methanol. In the present study, a new sampler was developed that absorbs acetone vapor in a manner linear to the vapor concentration up to 1,000 ppm and to the exposure duration of at least 8 hours.
