Development of a Personal Sampler for Isocyanurate Exposure Measurement

Ernest N. Morial New Orleans Convention Center 

This study reports on the development of a personal sampler for measuring isocyanurate exposure during the spray painting of urethane coatings. The sampler is designed with a simple structure to simultaneously collect both aerosolized mist and gaseous isocyanates from the sprayed paint. This report validates the sampler through spiking and recovery tests, as well as collection tests, in an actual manufacturing environment.
