Webinar – Sampling for Respirable Crystalline Silica to Meet the New Limit Values

Webinar – Sampling for Respirable Crystalline Silica to Meet the New Limit Values

Respirable Crystalline Silica exposure is probably the most serious chemical hazard of our time, given the number of workers exposed and the seriousness of the resulting disease. The ACGIH and OSHA have promulgated limit values that can be achieved with full-shift sampling, but if assessment of lower concentrations or sampling over shorter time-scales is required, the best procedure is to use higher flow rate samplers to collect larger samples. How this can be done and the limitations involved will be presented.
