Workplace Atmosphere Monitoring

National laws and regulations based on European directives require the assessment of potential exposure of workers to chemical agents in workplace air. One way of assessing such exposure is to measure the concentration of the chemical agent in air in the worker's breathing area. The procedures used for such measurements provide reliable and valid results so that, when compared with set limit values, a correct decision can be made.
