Specific Compounds: |
To determine concentrations of a know chemical(s) being used or suspected of being in the environment:
Examples include:
- formaldehyde in new furniture
- formaldehyde or phenol in dissection of animals
- ozone (electronic equipment use)
- carbon monoxide (diesel/vehicle exhaust)
- nitrogen dioxide (diesel/vehicle exhaust)
- paint fumes/vapors
- cleaning compounds
- asbestos (for abatement and maintenance projects)
- lead (firing arms testing and maintenance)
