SURVEY OF TECHNIQUES EMPLOYED TO DEFINE AEROSOL 'RESPIRABLE DUST' CONCENTRATION AND PARTICLE-SIZE CHARACTERISTICS. VOL. II

摘要

A questionnaire survey was conducted to evaluate air sampling procedures employed by AEC licensees and governmental radiological health agencies. Air sampling is generally performed, but relatively little sampling data define "respirable" concentration, or aerosol particle-size characteristics. However, the importance of these parameters in defining potential health hazards is acknowledged. The need for standardization of air sampling procedures and "respirable" dust definitions is indicated.
