Description
This session will discuss sampling strategies and present case-study data for evaluating airborne exposures to combustion products. Examples include thermal decomposition of plastics and other materials during manufacturing, welding fume, smoke from wildland and structural fires, and internal combustion engine exhaust (diesel and gasoline).
This session will present approaches to selecting sentinel agents for sampling based on review of safety data sheets and thermal decomposition chemistry, and availability of exposure limits and analysis methods. A strategy is needed to narrow focus on the most important agents among the large number of chemicals typically produced during combustion.
