Monitoring Methods used by OSHA
    Laboratory Sampling/Analytical Method:

    • sampling media: Mixed Cellulose Ester Filter (MCEF) 0.8 microns
      maximum volume: 15 Liters   maximum flow rate: 1.0 L/min (TWA)
      maximum volume: 15 Liters   maximum flow rate: 1.0 L/min (STEL)
      current analytical method: Gas Chromatography; GC/ECD
      method reference: NIOSH Analytical Method (NIOSH 5039) [17 KB, PDF, 3 pages]
      method classification: Fully Validated
      note: Collect a sample of the bulk substance and send to the lab in a separate mailing container at the time the air samples are submitted. Indicate on the sample sheet that a bulk sample has been submitted. Do not use tenite filter cassettes. Within one hour after sampling, transfer filter to clean screw-cap bottle.

    Bulk method: Limit the amount of bulk submitted to one gram or one mL.
