Sampling and monitoring

Identify additional sampling and monitoring to be performed during the test. 

The objective of a proper sampling program is to take a sufficient number of samples to obtain a representative estimate of exposure. Contaminant concentrations vary seasonally, with weather, with production levels, and in a single location or job class. The number of samples taken depends on the error of measurement and differences in results. It is important also that if the employer has conducted air sampling and monitoring in the past, a thorough review of the records should be made. 

The sampling and monitoring frequencies specified in the Site B site contractor s SSAHP were not consistent with HAZWOPER requirements since the plan based monitoring frequency on prior sampling results alone and did not consider other factors such as the performance...

This method applies a constant force to the sample and monitors the strain (deformation) as a function of time This is called the creep test and gives the elastic and viscous properties of substances. 

Delineation of these three zones should be based on sampling and monitoring results and on an evaluation of the potential routes and amount of contaminant dispersion in the event of a release. Movement of personnel and equipment among these zones should be minimized and restricted to specific access control points to prevent cross-contamination from contaminated areas to clean areas. A decision for evaluating health and safety aspects of decontamination methods is presented in Figure 16.22.105...

Figure 4 Effect on the serum stability of the incorporation of 5% cholesterol poly(ethy-lene glycol) (PEG) into cationic lipoplexes [hpopolyamine RPR209120/DOPE1/1, ratio (mol) lipid/DNA = 10 in 150 mM NaCl]. Lipoplexes were incubated in DMEM + 10% SVF, at 37°C, aliquots were regularly sampled and monitored by dynamic diffusion. Results represent a mean between three measurements. Error bars are not presented to simplify the graph, but differences among PEG, PEG-1, and PEG-2 are significant. Abbreviations PEG, poly(ethylene glycol) DOPE, dioleylphosphatidylethanolamine DMEM, Dulbecco s Modified Eagle Medium.

It has been shown that radio frequency impedance (RFI) is an effective tool for moifitoring cell density and cell growth of bioprocesses. The fermentation process, quite complex, is oftentimes difficult to sample and monitor. The RFI measurement could detect cell viability of Escherichia coli during the fermentation, serving as a qualitative measure of the metabolic load of the cell, and thus provide an in situ indicator of the optimal harvesting times. 

Temperature programmed reaction (TPR) experiments were carried out by adsorbing allyl alcohol and allyl iodide on a 9.0 wt% Mo03/Si02 sample and monitoring the evolved products by mass spectrometry. The Raman spectra of the pure liquid reference compounds are shown in Fig. 2. They agree well with those reported earlier (18-20). 

Tensile tests involve either stretching a sample and monitoring the load or loading it while monitoring the extension. The simplest test uses a tensile testing machine (e.g. an Instron) where the sample is stretched at a constant rate while the load is measured using a (usually hard) load cell. Variations on this test allow the specimen to be extended at a constant strain rate or to be loaded at a constant load, or stress rate. These latter tests are usually carried out on servo hydraulic machines.
