3M Organic Vapor Monitor Sampling Guide For Organic Vapor Monitor #3500/3510 Organic Vapor Monitor With Back-Up Section #3520 December, 1982 ANOTHER STEP TOWARDS BETTER OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY R35SG-A(1221)B2 Occupational Health and Safety Products DMslon/3M 220-7W 3M Center St. Paul, Minnesota 55144 Utho in U-SA- 3M 005750 Um of tha Sampling Guide Tables: The following table summarizes OSHA standards, 3M monitor sampling information and recommended sampling procedures for a variety of organic compounds for which the 3M Organic Vapor Monitors can be used to acccurately determine the environmental exposures. The table is not exhaustive and will be updated periodically. To obtain periodic updates, return the registration card contained In every box of monitors to 3M Company. A. OSHA Standards The OSHA TWA-PEL's (Time Weighted Average) given as workshift time weighted averages are taken from the Federal Register as found in 29 CRF 1910.1000 as of 1 January 1977 and are summarized in the "NIOSH/OSHA Pocket Guide to Chemical Hazards." Also included in parentheses are the current ACGIH (American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienist) values in cases where they differ from OSHA TWA's. These values are subject to change and appropriate publications should be consulted for the most current information. B. Monitor Samples Information * Sampling Rate Ail sampling rates have an accuracy of 5%. The (*) compounds in the Sampling Guide tables have been subjected to an extensive amount of laboratory work to verify the sampling rate. The sampling rates given for the remaining compounds in this table were determined from empirical relationships as outlines in a publication on Sampling Rate Validation. The sampling rates are tabulated as cubic centimeters/minute and micrograms/ppm-hour. The publication on Sampling Rate Validation Protocol can be obtained upon request from 3M Company. The top section of the #3520 (containing the primary absorbent) has the same geometric dimension as the 3M Organic Vapor Monitor #3500. Therefore, the sampling rates are the same, and also have an accuracy of 5%. * Capacity The capacity of the monitor for each Individual compound is a function of molecular structure, vapor pressure, environmental conditions, etc. The capacity values are tabulated in Section II - Analysis Guide, and are used to determine the length of a recommended sampling period. Because of the backup section, the effective sampling capacity of the Organic Vapor Monitor #3520 is four times greater than the values listed for the Organic Vapor Monitor #3500/3510. When sampling environments containing contaminant mixtures on environments with high relative humidity, it is difficult to accurately define the diffusiona! sampling capacity. Therefore, under these conditions, the weight (Ws) collected by the secondary absorbent of the backup section can be compared with the weight (Wp) collected by the primary absorbent to determine sample validity. The ration Ws/Wp must be equal to or less than 0.50. C. Length of Sampling Period 1. General 3500/3510 When sampling for organic contaminants, full workshift sampling periods are recommended as the most comprehensive measures of worker exposure. When sampling some organic contaminants, sampling periods shorter than a full workshift are required in order to sample within the recommended capacity of the monitor. Under these circumstances, sequential sampling with several monitors can be performed. 3520 For those compounds where the recommended length of the sampling period for the Organic Vapor Monitor 3500/3510 is less than a full workshift, the length of the sampling period can be increased by a factor of four when using the Organic Vapor Monitor #3520. Because of the increased effective capacity of the Organic Vapor Monitor #3520, sampling periods longer than a full workshift are possible. The preferred recommendation Is for full workshift sampling periods. 1 3M 005751 2. Effect on Humidity Recommended sampling periods have been tabulated for concentration ranges from .1 to .5 times the PEL and from .5 to 3 times the PEL for relative humidities less than or greater than 70%. These recommended sampling periods should not be exceeded when using OVM #3500/3510. 3. Minimum Sampling Time To confirm quantitatively the presence and concentration of a contaminant in the atmosphere, most analysts must have a minimum of 10 micrograms for G.C. analysis. A sampling period of at least 15 minutes is recommended even when 10 micrograms of the contaminant could be collected in a shorter period. For a contaminant at a low concentration level, the sampling rate of micrograms/ppm-hr. should be used to verify a sampling period during which at least 10 micrograms of the contaminant would be collected. D. Short Term Exposure Limit (STEL) The ACGIH has recommended a short-term exposure limit (STEL) as a maximum concentration to which workers can be exposed for a period up to 15 minutes continuously. No more than four (4) such excursions per day are permitted, with at least 60 minutes between exposure periods, provided that the recommended ACGIH dally TLV-TWA also is not exceeded. The STEL values summarized in the following tables can be found in the "Threshold Limit Values for Chemical Substances in Workroom Air Adopted by ACGIH for 1980." The monitor is recommended for STEL sampling if, during the 15 minute sampling period, the monitor will collect a minimum of 10 micorgrams of the contaminant when sampling at the STEL concentrations. E. Unsuitable Compounds The OVM is not recommended for the compounds listed below because of adverse or inadequate interactions with the sorbent material. This list is representative of classes of compounds not suitable for use with the OVM. Compounds not on this list or the Compound Guide should be handled by consultation with OH&SP Technical Service. Compounds Ammonia Carbon Monixide (1) Ethylene Oxide (2) Formaldehyde (3) Hydrogen Sulfide Isocyanates Methane, Ethane, Propane Methyl Alcohol (Methanol) Methyl Chloride Methyl, Dimethyl, Trimethyl Amines Organic Solids Sulfur Dioxide (1) Carbon Monixide can be monitored using 3M Monitor #3400 (2) Ethylene Oxide can be monitored using 3M Ethylene Oxide Monitor #3550/3551 (3) Formaldehyde can be monitored using 3M Formaldehyde Monitor #3750/3751 F. Compounds Printed in Bold Type All compounds listed In bold type in the OVM Sampling Guide will be analyzed by 3M for the OVM #3510. fFor more information contact your 3M Sales Representative or your local OH&SP Safety Products Distributor. fPre-paid analysis for up to three compounds. 2 3H 005752 COMPOUND Acetone* Acetonitrile* Acrylonitrile Allyl Alcohol Ally!
