Air Filters
In
the United States, the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) is the key federal agency charged with
enforcement of safety and health legislation. OSHA is
supplemented by the efforts of the National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), part of the US
Centers for Disease Control (CDC); NIOSH is responsible for
conducting research and making recommendations for the
prevention of work-related illnesses and injuries.
Handheld Thermo Scientific NITON® XRF
analyzers, including the x-ray tube-based
XL3t and
XLt
Series, and the isotope-based
XL3p,
XLi,
and XLp
Series, meet the requirements of
NIOSH
Method 7702 for analysis of 37 mm personal
air-monitoring filters which are used in monitoring worker
exposure to airborne lead. In compliance with this
method, as well as OSHA’s companion
Method ID-204, real-time, lead-level monitoring helps
contractors, industrial hygienists, and regulators protect
worker health, while, at the same time, maximizing
productivity and minimizing costs. This efficiency is
accomplished by implementing appropriate worker protection
procedures only when they are necessary. NITON analyzers
offer unprecedented speed-to-results with
"close-to-real-time" analysis that assist with ensuring the
absolute safety of workers and the environment.
