Theory and practice in the development of a multisorbent passive dosimeter system.
A new family of passive dosimeters has been developed to allow the use of multiple sorbents and analytical techniques suited to a wide range of sampling situations. The dosimeter hardware has been designed to be reusable with interchangeable sorbent capsule refills to provide low cost per test. Capsules have been designed both for conventional solvent desorption and to be used with a newly developed rapid thermal desorber capable of automation for multiple samples. The development of the system is described together with laboratory tests and results and the effects of environmental parameters.
