| OSHA 188 Modified |
Ammonia |
GFF treated media instead of carbon beads. |
| OSHA 103 |

None |
| NIOSH 500, 600 |
Dust |
None |

| NIOSH 1500 |
Hydrocarbons |
Internal Standard, Dual Column Confirmation, Diffusive media |
| OSHA 42, 47 |
Isocyanates |
None |
| EPA 7473 |
Mercury |
Method is applied to industrial hygiene air sampling media. Small-volume liquid mercury standards are introduced directly into quartz sample boats for calibration and quality control purposes. Results are calculated and reported as mass per sample (µg/sample) and, where applicable, converted to air concentration (mg/m³) based on sampling volume. |
| OSHA 125 |
Metals |
All ICP metals are analyzed following OSHA 125 Modified. However, the sample prep changes depending on metals requested and collection media: Analyses which include either Silver, Antimony, Tin, Iron or Titanium are prepared using a modification of NIOSH 7303 and OSHA 206 (Hydrochloric and Nitric acids used in Hot Block digestion, final sample - matrix 20% Hydrochloric acid.) Others (MCE, PVC, Ghost wipes) are prepared using a modification of NIOSH 7082 and OSHA 121. (Nitric acid used in Hot Block digestion, final sample matrix - 5% Nitric acid.). For Non-dissolving wipes (Smear Tabs), the preparation is a modification of NIOSH 7105. (Hydrochloric (if Ag, Sb, Sn, Fe, Ti included) and Nitric acids with 30% hydrogen peroxide digested on hot plate.) ELLAP Ghost Wipes are prepared using modifications of NIOSH 9102 and NIOSH 7303 (Hydrochloric and Nitric Acids, final sample matrix – 10% HNO3, 4% HCl. |
| NIOSH 6014 |
Nitrogen Oxides |
Badges Only: Sampling media is treated GFF instead of instead of treated molecular sieves. |

Collection media inside a diffusive monitor instead of a cassette. Slightly different eluant. |
| OSHA 32 |
Phenol, Cresol (badge) |
Badge Media: Carbon instead of silica gel. |
