Anesthetic Gas Diffusion Tubes / Passive Samplers

Anesthetic Gas Diffusion Tubes

Anesthetic Gas Diffusion Tubes / Passive Samplers

Many professionals, including doctors, nurses, dentists and vets use anaesthetic gases on a regular basis. Continuous exposure to these gases can be harmful, so monitoring of both personal exposure and ambient concentrations is important.

Potential implications of continual worker exposure to anaesthetic gases:

  • Respiratory irritation, e.g. coughing.
  • Dizziness.
  • Nausea.
  • Reproductive effects.

Applications

  • Long-term monitoring of ambient concentrations
  • Personal exposure monitoring for healthcare professionals and vets – eight-hour monitoring periods for comparison with time-weighted average exposure limits
  • Pumped or passive sampling
