Portable fluorometric monitor to detect polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbon contamination of work area surfaces
Conference
·
OSTI ID:6089158
A hand-held fluorometric monitor for detection of surface contamination by polynuclear aromatic (PNA) compounds is described. The instrument will indicate the presence of microgram quantities of PNA in the workplace at distances less than or equal to 1 m. Laboratory test data using coal liquefaction products and wastes are presented. It is anticipated that this type of spotter will be used extensively in monitoring for PNA contamination of the clean areas of coal conversion facilities, such as lunch rooms, shops, changing facilities, the control room, etc. Actual field evaluation of two spotter units at several coal conversion pilot plants is scheduled to begin during FY 1980.
