Air Sample Analysis for Nuisance Dusts and Particulates, Total and/or Respirable
NIOSH O500: Total Respirable Dust / NIOSH 0600: Total Aerosol Mass
Note: the NIOSH 0500 and NIOSH 0600 procedures both require pre-weighed sampling media. Due to the extreme sensitivity of the measurements, the procedure calls for the same microbalance be used for weighing filters before and after sampling. SMMS can provide pre-weighed sampling media as part of our service. Contact us for more information
