Dual Purpose Professional Model Formaldehyde Monitor : Formaldehyde Exposure Badge for Individual or Room Monitor for Specific Area. A TWA (Time Weighted Average) Monitor that Develops Where You Are in 4 minutes. No lab needed. Requires 8 hour exposure.
Use this TWA formaldehyde monitor for same day results. Lower Limit of
Detection: 0.10 ppm/8-hr TWA (Time Weighted Average). Know if formaldehyde is causing your symptoms.
Formaldehyde can out gas from particle board, carpeting and glues. Heat
and humidity increase release of formaldehyde.
Formaldehyde exposure can make you sick. Eyes water from eye and mucous membrane irritations. Headaches, burning sensations in the throat, and difficulty breathing are other symptoms. Formaldehyde is classified as a probable human carcinogen by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency if exposure is inhaled over long time periods at high doses as in particle board saw mills.
Single Test Formaldehyde Badge Usage: Attach clip to shirt, near the breathing zone.
Single Test Formaldehyde Area Monitor Usage: Clip formaldehyde monitor to an object during exposure. Keep formaldehyde monitor vertical with clip side up for accurate reading.
Use TWA (Time Weighted Average) formaldehyde monitor for work shifts lasting 8 hours. Wearer can move from room to room if monitor always remains vertical to the floor.
Note: During the 4-minute developing step, keep monitor flat on a table with green developer fluid completely covering the silver reading window.
TWA Low Level Formaldehyde Monitor Specifications:
Lower Limit of Detection: 0.10 ppm/8-hr TWA (Time Weighted Average)
Threshold Limit Values: 0.30 ppm (ceiling limit) established by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH).
Potential Interferences: Formaldehyde:
The following potential interferents were tested at or above the TLV levels and show no effect on accuracy: phenol, methyl ethyl ketone, and hydrochloric acid. The following potential interferents were tested at the indicated concentration and show no effect on accuracy: <7.0 ppm of ammonia and <5.0 ppm acetaldehyde.
NOTE: Single use formaldehyde test. This air quality test is a one time test taken and developed on site. No lab required.
