Validation Type
BilevelThe most volatile member of a related (homologous) series of chemicals has passed full validation; therefore, related less volatile series members require only partial validation to achieve the same level of sampling accuracy (see Guild et al. [http://doi.org/cjzqd7] or request a copy from SKC).
Footnotes
# NIOSH STEL levelThis SKC Air Sampling guide is a reference only to assist users in finding the method, sampling equipment, and sampling media for a specific compound. This publication is intended for general information only and should not be used as a substitute for reviewing applicable government regulations, equipment operating instructions, or legal standards. Users must consult the appropriate sampling method for the compound of interest before sampling. The sampling parameters shown here are suggestions based on the ranges or volume, flow, and time specified in the methods. It is the responsibility of the analyst performing the sampling and analysis steps to adjust the parameters so that the required detection limits can be obtained.
