Sampling and analysis of bitumen fumes / H.C.A. Brandt... [et al.]

Sumario: Processes which involve the use of bitumen-containing materials at elevated temperatures can release airborne particulates into the workplace. The organic part of the particulates, characterized by the benzene-soluble matter (BSM), mainly stems from the bitumen and contains small amounts of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). A sampling and analytical procedure for the determination of total particulate matter (TPM) and BSM for bitumen fume in the atmosphere has been developed and validated. Its suitability for sampling PAHs has been investigated. This paper contains four parts: procedure and validation; field exposure measurements; laboratory study of emissions under controlled conditions; general discussion
