Sets out two methods for the sampling of organic vapours in workplace atmospheres using solid adsorption techniques. The methods are active sampling using pump and tube, and passive sampling using solid adsorbent diffusive samples. Both methods can be used to assess personal exposure to organic vapours in the workplace.

This Standard describes two methods for the sampling of organic vapours in workplace atmospheres using solid adsorption techniques. The methods are -active sampling using pump and tube; -passive sampling using solid adsorbent diffusive samplers.
