C. Keen et al., ON-SITE MONITORING OF PERSONAL EXPOSURE TO TETRACHLOROETHYLENE AT DRY-CLEANING ESTABLISHMENTS, The Annals of occupational hygiene, 40(3), 1996, pp. 281-292
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. (C) 1996 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd for BOHS.
