Air sampling at Oak Ridge National Laboratory

New and more detailed requirements for air sampling and real-time monitoring made it necessary to review and update ORNL`s air sampling/monitoring program. As the first step in upgrading the air sampling/monitoring program, an evaluation of facilities indicated that over half of ORNL`s present inventory of real-time air monitors should be eliminated or replaced by air samplers. Secondly, users and owners had to be educated concerning the capabilities, recommended uses, and relative merits of air samplers and real-time monitors. Finally, specifications were written for both high- and low-volume air samplers, based on ORNL`s specific needs. Two types of air samplers are being constructed for use at ORNL, with each unit costing under $1,000.
