New Practice for Surface Sampling of Selected Organic Compounds for Worker Protection
1. Scope
Provide information from which decisions can be made regarding appropriate strategies for surface sampling of selected organic compounds based on appropriate limit values, regulatory requirements, and worker protection requirements.
Keywords
exposure assessment; surface sampling; organic compounds; workplace air
Rationale
This standard would be similar to the existing D7659 guide for sampling of surfaces for metals and metalloids, except that this guide would be for selected organic compounds. A guide of this nature is needed due to increasing emphasis by organizations such as ACGIH on sampling of workplace surfaces for exposure assessment and worker protection.
