Diffusive monitoring – A cost-effective and quantitative approach to environmental monitoring
contributed by Markes International Ltd |
Introduction
Diffusive monitoring is widely used in all air monitoring scenarios, i.e. occupational hygiene plus indoor air and ambient air monitoring. By eliminating the requirement for a sampling pump, diffusive monitoring provides a simple and cost method collecting the large number of samples in air monitoring programs.
Key applications include:
- personal exposure monitoring
- large-scale environmental studies
- indoor air monitoring.
Various types of diffusive sampler are available, and the decision on the type of sampler depends on the monitoring scenario.
