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) |
