3M In response to you and your workers The first maintenance-free 3M 100948 3M Brand ORGANIC VAPOR MONITOR 3500 Makes monitoring easier for everyone involved from planning through purchase through analysis 3M Brand Organic Vapor Monitor 3500 is maintenance-free. An economic and time-saving benefit for those who must allocate budget to buy the monitor as well as for those who must administer the program. For wearers, it's lightweight, self-contained and comfortably worn on the collar to measure TW.A. concentrations over a period of 8 hours or less. Compact, lightweight design helps assure worker acceptance. Finally, for laboratory personnel, there's the ease and accuracy of analysis. (Desorption is performed inside the monitor.) 3M provides complete calculation data to your laboratory. 3M also offers a specialized analysis for the monitor. 3500 offers a unique combination of benefits, and there's at least one benefit for everyone involved in the overall monitoring cycle from purchase through analysis. in n r . i'' ""Tt l-Tt Sr* & r Ready-to-use No equipment preparation or calibration. Saves time, labor and money. No spare parts inventory to tie up capital and space. Maintenance-free, single use unit. No cleaning or worry about contamination hold-over. Lew initial cost. Exceeds OSHA accuracy requirements. Will measure recommended compounds at their action levels or below. Lightweight, pumpless Self-contained. No expensive pumps. No interference with normal work procedure. Conveniently clips to collar close to breathing zone. Provides precise measurement of personal exposure. Vapors sampled at constant rates. Simplified monitoring procedure. Hygienist can work through trained aides in remote locations. Lower hygienist cost per sample. In cases of an on-location hygienist, a greater number of samples can be taken in a given period. internal desorption Sample is sealed within monitor to prevent unintentional contamination after the monitoring period. Desorption occurs in the closed monitor. Eliminates potential inaccuracies due to sorbent transfer. Eliminates time m handling and analysis preparation. 3M 100949 Conventional analysis Uses conventional gas chromatographic analysis as outlined in NIOSH Physical & Chemical Analytical Method 127. To speed and assure analysis consistency, 3M offers an Analytical Service or can provide complete standardized calculation data, including sampling rate and recovery coefficient. To obtain this information for your laboratory, complete and send the request card contained in every monitor shipping box. Low flow pump and carbon tubes Purchases Necessary 1. Pump 2.

Start time is recorded on the back of the monitor. 2. The monitor is worn as dose as possible to the breathing zone to provide the best possible monitoring of personal exposure. 3. After exposure, the end time is raoorded. 4. The white face and retaining ring are removed after monitoring. Monitor with dip Analysis The sealed, foil-lined package can be sent to 3M for monitor analysis (see back cover for details), or be forwarded for analysis by your own laboratory or local analytical service. If you prefer to use sources other than 3M, complete qualification and calculation data can be provided for a variety of compounds including but not limited to: Acetone Hexane Acrylonitrile Benzen)e0.1 ppm) Carbon Tetrachloride Methyl Ethyl Ketone Styrene Toluene Chloroform Ethyl Acetate Heptane Trichloroethylene Vinyl Chloride Xylene 1. As the first step in analysis, the eluent is injected through the center port. 5. The closure cap is snapped into place and the pods are firmly dosed. 6. Specific data and comments are written on the package. 7. The monitor is placed inside the package which is folded and sealed with the closure tube. 2. The port is closed. The sample is desorbed for Vi hour with occasional gentle agitation. 3. Both ports are opened and the pour spout can be inserted. The solution is poured into the sampler vial. 4. Sample analysis Is by conventional gaschromatography and use of the 3M qualification data. 3M 100952 , ______ ...___ -J4 AIHA ACCREDITED ............... . 1 !
