Air Monitor Videos

These videos will help familiarize you with the proper operation of air monitoring equipment. 
As always, if you have any questions, please contact your supervisor.
(Any of these videos can be maximized to full screen by clicking on the icon on the bottom right of the window viewer)

Remember the Air Monitoring Priorities
1. Radiation - WMD's (Radiation turnbacks are 5 Rem/hr or 25 RAD)
2. Corrosives (To Protect Multi-Gas Meters from corrosive vapors)
3. Flammability (Turnbacks 10% LEL indoors, 20% LEL outdoors)
4. Oxygen (Oxygen enriched enhances combustion & reactivity, and oxygen deprived means another material is displacing the oxygen)
5. Toxicity (Using chemical specific monitors, we measure the amount of the material)
