Abstract
The First International Symposium on Air Sampling Instrument Performance assessed both the current state of the performance of air sampling field instruments and instrument performance criteria. The meeting highlighted the dramatic growth in the technology used to measure human exposure to airborne toxicants. This paper addresses goals for the performance of air sampling instruments and some approaches to specifying instrument performance criteria. Cohen, B.S.: Air Sampling Instrument Performance. Appl.
