An automatic air sampling system has been combined with a direct reading spectrograph into a mobile cabinet for the continuous quantitative determination of beryllium particulate matter in air. An analysis is reported every 75 sec with a precision of about 20% at the 95% confidence level. Sensitivity is about 0.5 μg/m3 beryllium.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
