Computed Tomography in Industrial Hygiene

Abstract

An innovative measurement technology for industrial hygiene and environmental air sampling has emerged to allow visualization of the spatial distribution of chemical concentrations in space over time. By combining optical remote sensing technologies with computed tomography, spatially and temporally resolved two‐dimensional concentration maps can be generated for a room or area. These maps could be used to evaluate pollutant dispersion in a workplace, characterize human exposures, support fundamental modeling research, and locate fugitive emissions.
