PD CEN/TR 16013-3:2012CEN/TR 16013-3:2012 (E) 4 Introduction All photometer-based direct-reading aerosol monitors use the principle of light scattering to determine airborne

17、 particle concentration. Here, a light source (usually produced by a laser or diode) is collimated and illuminates airborne particles entering a sensing volume. The instrument optics are usually designed such that the intensity of the light scattered at a particular angle is proportional principally

18、 to the respirable fraction of the airborne particle concentration. Other physical properties of the aerosol such as particle size, refractive index and particle shape, will affect their response by varying degrees (see 7) although this can be minimised by careful design of the photometer. Therefore

19、, photometer-based direct-reading aerosol monitors are not ideal for the measurement of worker exposure or to check whether threshold limit values of industrial dust concentrations are exceeded. Their main advantage is that they give an almost instantaneous measure of airborne particle concentration

20、, thereby reducing considerably the time and effort associated with standard gravimetric methods. They are also better at measuring aerosols with high vapour pressures that would normally evaporate during standard gravimetric analysis. Some instruments include a pre-classifier on the inlet (cyclone

21、or impactor) to make the overall response closer to the respirable dust definition. Photometers are therefore best suited to assess variations of airborne particle concentration in time or space and to check for any sudden change of concentration. Typical applications are: walk-through surveys; back

22、ground sampling to assess concentration variations and mean concentration during a working shift period; assessment of the effectiveness of dust control systems; measurement of indoor air quality; as part of exposure video visualization systems. For measurement of personal exposure they should be co

23、nsidered as complementary to conventional filter-based gravimetric methods (see 2), although with careful calibration, they can also give an accurate measure of respirable dust exposure, i.e. that which enters the mouth and nose and passes to the lower regions of the respiratory system (see EN 481).

24、 PD CEN/TR 16013-3:2012CEN/TR 16013-3:2012 (E) 5 1 Scope This Technical Report describes the use of photometers for the determination of airborne particles belonging to the respirable fraction and gives details on their limitations and possible uses in the field of occupational hygiene. NOTE Photome

25、ters can also be used to detect other size fractions of airborne particles after aerodynamic pre-separation, but these are not the focus of this Technical Report. The method complements existing conventional long-term aerosol particle sampling and can be used for: instantaneous (direct-reading) meas

26、urement, time-related monitoring, investigation of space-related aerosol evolution (mapping), and exposure visualization. The method enables e.g.: detection and relative quantification of concentration peaks due to specific operations (bagging, sanding, etc.); identification of most exposed workers

27、with a view to more detailed studies of risks and prevention measures to be applied; and detection of dust emission sources and their relative magnitudes. 2 Operating Principle 2.1 General A laser or light emitting diode is used to produce a high intensity source of light, which is usually in the vi

28、sible near-infrared spectrum. This is collimated and illuminates airborne particles entering the sensing volume of the instrument. The optical sensing volume is created by intersection of illuminating and detecting light beams as shown in Figure 1. The intensity of the light scattered at a particula

29、r angle is proportional to the airborne particle concentration and is detected using sensitive photomultipliers or photodiodes with response spectra covering approximately the source emission spectra. 2.2 Light scattering Interaction of a light beam with an airborne particle in suspension can cause

30、several effects: absorption of part of the light, reflection, refraction or diffraction of the beam. These combined effects result in scattering of the incident light in every direction. The illumination and collection optics are arranged inside a photometer so that light scattered at a fixed range

31、of angles reaches the detector (see Figure 1). Depending on the design, these instruments can measure the scattered light in the region of = 90, 45or less than 30. Choice of observation angle plays a prominent part in detection. Front scattering is relatively insensitive to changing airborne particl
