Organic Vapour Monitor 3500, pack of 10

The monitoring of exposure to organic vapours is an important function for health and safety personnel within a wide range of industries. Any process, which involves high levels of organic vapours (e.g. adhesive fumes), presents a potential exposure risk to personnel. At the time of this catalogue going to print,

3M passive samplers are simple and effective devices ideally suited to personal monitoring. They collect organic, airborne contaminants using the scientific principle of diffusion and meet or exceed 25% accuracy (at a 95% confidence level) for a wide range of chemical compounds found in the workplace. They are convenient to use, with no batteries, hoses, pumps or equipment to calibrate. Their ease of use makes monitoring a simple process; just clip the badge to clothing near to the breathing zone (e.g. shirt lapel, collar or pocket) for a period of time; typically an 8-hour shift and then after exposure, return the badge for analysis. Exposure can be calculated for a number of contaminants from a single badge if required. The shelf life of all 3M passive sampling badges is 18 months.

Charcoal sorbent wafers for easy collection of over 125 organic vapours.  Analysis may be performed by gas chromatography either in-house, or by used a pre-paid analysis service.
