• Description:
  This document details how to implement field-based monitoring for respirable crystalline silica (RCS) using portable Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). It is primarily intended for industrial hygienists and other workers with health and safety responsibilities, specifically within the mining industry (although workers in other industries may also find it useful). The document has been written for a user with experience in respirable dust or RCS exposure assessment but who does not necessarily have specialized training in analytical techniques.
