Periodic Monitoring

Periodic Monitoring

Site conditions, and thus atmospheric chemical conditions, may change following the initial characterization. For this reason, monitoring should be repeated periodically, especially when:

1. Work begins on a different portion of the site.
2. Different contaminants are being handled.
3. A markedly different type of operation is initiated (i.e. barrel opening as opposed to exploratory well drilling).
4. Workers are handling leaking drums or working in areas with obvious liquid contamination (i.e., a spill or lagoon).
