RE: Histo Air Monitoring
From: | "Horn, Hazel V" <HornHV@archildrens.org> |
Sorry I can't help.......Our safety department does all of our monitoring
and they do monitor for alcohol, xylene, formaldehyde and even our xylene
substitute. I can tell you for us it is easy to use. We just wear a
badge for 15 minutes and then one for 8 hours. Our safety department
sends these badges out somewhere to be evaluated with the reports sent back
to safety. Our safety department then sends reports to our lab director.
I have no idea what it costs. We monitor this once a year (unless one of
them comes back high) and if there is a change in procedure we monitor
again.
