Air Monitoring, Site Monitoring
Priorities for air monitoring should be based on the information gathered during initial site characterization. This information serves as the basis for selecting the appropriate monitoring equipment and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to use when conducting site monitoring. Depending on site conditions and project goals, four categories of site monitoring may be necessary:
- Monitoring for IDLH (chemicals Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health) and other dangerous conditions
- General onsite monitoring
- Perimeter monitoring
- Periodic monitoring
