Title: Air measurements of dusts, chemicals, and fumes. Author: Spooner CM. Journal: Clin Chest Med; 1992 Jun; 13(2):179-92. PubMed ID: 1511547.

Direct-reading portable field instruments are being used to supplement laboratory-based analytical methods. The lowering of the OSHA permissible exposure limits and the rise of indoor air pollution concerns indicate the need for more innovative methods for detecting lung irritants and pathogens.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
