General Product Description The 3M Brand Organic Vapor Monitor #3800 Is a sampling badge to be worn near the breathing zone of personnel exposed to potentlelly hazardous organic vapor environments. It is designed to measure average concentrations over a measured time Interval ol 8 hours or less. The monitor requires no sampling pump. It Is analyzed using techniques similar (o those outlined In NIOSH Physical & Chemical Analytical Method 127 for charcoal tubes. Analytical assay Is correlated to environmental contaminant concentrations using data supplied by 3M Company. 3M also provides a complete analytical service for Ihe #3500. The 3M laboratory specializes In this analysis. 3M analysis mailers are enclosed in every box of monitors. II. Principle of the Method 1 The contaminant enters the monitor by diffusion and Is adsorbed by an active adsorbent medium (charcoal) inside the badge. The amount ol contaminant adsorbed Is determined by exposure time and contaminant concentration present In the sampled environment. 2 A measured volume of a suitable solvent is added to the monitor to desorb the collected organic vapors. A portion of (he desorbing solvent, containing the organic contaminants, Is withdrawn from the monitor.by gas chromatography. The weight ol organic conlaminanl, determined by G.C. analysis. Is converted to time weighted average exposure; using data supplied in the 3M Compound Guide and Calculation Guide. This product Information may be obtained by completing Ihe reply card found In each usage guide. # $ (? 3M 008691 3 Monitoring Instructions 1.

VnWIICrlHI I IWtArMWIw 1. Samples should be Inspected in the following areas: a) Monitor code matches code recorded on bag. b) Closure cap Is firmly snapped to monitor body. c) Closure cap plugs are firmly sealed in the cap ports. 4. Open both ports. Insert decanting spout Into the rim port and carefully transfer the liquid to a sampler vial used with the automatic sampler of .1 gas chromatograph. The trial is Immediately sealed. An alternate procedure Is to use a syringe to withdraw a sample from the center pi for manual Injection Into the gas chromatograph. 2. The center port Is opened and 1.5 milliliters of carbon disulfide or other suitable desorption solvent, Is Injected. The rim port can be open to allow venting. Reseal both ports. 3. Let monitor stand for Vi hour with occasional gentle agitation applied. 5. Gas chromatographic analysis Is conducted as outlined In NIOSH P&CAM 127. The corrected weight fo each contaminant, collected by the monitor, Is obtained by subtracting o Ihe contribution ol the blank sample For detailed Instructions lor analysis including recovery coefficient determinations, please return enclosed card. A complete #3500 Compound Quid Notebook will be promptly sent for your information. 3M 008697 i ! 3M 008698 VIII. Calculation Procedures 1. Using gas chromatography analysis methods, determine the weight ot each contaminant present on the monitor in milligrams. 2. Correct the weight by subtracting out the number ol milligrams. If any, found In the blank sample for each individual contaminant. 3. Determine the recovery efficiency for each contaminant The procedure found in the <3500 Compound Guide Notebook titled, "Recommended Procedure for Determination of Recovery Coefficients" should be utilized. To obtain this information, please send the reply card found on the back page of Usage Booklet 4. Using the Organic Vapor Monitor <3500 Compound Guide, determine the sampling rate for each contaminant. 5. Determine the sampling time in minutes for the contaminants from the back label of the exposed monitor. 6. Calculate the conieminent concentration using the following equations; mg _ PN) 1(P cmVm^ m* wn Where: W = Corrected weight in milligrams r = Recovery (Desorption) efficiency K,= Monitor Sampling rate, cmVmln. t = Sampling time, minutes 7. To calculate concentration In ppm at reference conditions of 298*K and 760 mm.Hg. use the following equation: ppm = mo 24.45 m* MW Where: MW = Molecular weight, grJmole The above equations calculate concentrations that can be strictly compared to OSHA standards only If the temperature during sampling was 298'K (25C or 77`F). It sampling temperature Is significantly different than 298'K, then a correction can be applied as follows: Temperature corrected concentration C( Ts C, = pm (298'K Ts Where: Ts = Temperature at Sample Site in 'K. This correction eliminates an error of approximately IV* for every 10*F (5.6*0) Increment above or below 77'F (25*C).
