Notes

Humidity at the sampling site needs to be assessed prior to the actual sampling. FOR OSHA CSHOs ONLY: If it is anticipated to be greater then 50%, please contact the SLTC for further instructions. Submit as separate sample. When the analysis of this compound is requested, analysis for Iodide is performed and reported as Iodine.

Special requirements

* All sampling instructions above are recommended guidelines for OSHA Compliance Safety and Health Officers (CSHOs), please see the corresponding OSHA method reference for complete details.
