Real-Time Monitoring of Airborne Beryllium, at OSHA Limit Levels, by Time-Resolved Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy

摘要

Real-time detection of beryllium particulate is being investigated by the new technique of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy. For beryllium detection we monitor the 313.1-nm feature of once ionized beryllium (Be II). Numerous publications describe the technique, our beryllium results, and other applications. Here we summarize the important points and describe our experiments with beryllium. (ERA citation 07:058074)
