• Description:
  An evaluation of a portable microwave multigas analyzer for its efficacy in measuring air contaminants in a workplace environment is presented. The evaluation focused on portability for field use; and versatility for several compounds including acetonitrile (75058), acetaldehyde (75070), acetone (67641), carbonyl-sulfide (463581), ethanol (64175), ethylene-oxide (75218), isopropanol (67630), methanol (67561), propylene-oxide (75569), and sulfur-dioxide (7446095) stability of measurement; simplicity of use. The authors conclude that versatility and simplicity of operation were adequate, but stability and portability were not. They suggest a program for improvement. [Description provided by NIOSH]
