Abstract
A sampling and analytical method is presented for the use of EO Self-ScanTM dosimeters for the determination of ethylene oxide permissible exposure limit (PEL) data. Analysis and report generation are performed on-site by trained personnel. A computer program for performing the calculations required to obtain accurate exposure data is described. The computer program is written in Microsoft BASICATM for use on MS-DOS based systems. The advantages and disadvantages of this method are described in detail.
