Abstract
Methods for monitoring personal exposure to tetrachloroethylene vapour in the dry cleaning industry have been investigated. A Draeger diffus ive colorimetric gas detector tube and the Delta vapour detection syst em manufactured by Sable Gas Detection were both shown to be suitable for preliminary on-site monitoring. A range of short-term pumped color imetric tubes were also shown to perform well under a range of environ mental conditions. Data on laboratory evaluations and field trials are presented.
