for a total of 450 minutes of a 480 minute work day. The time-weighted average for the
total of the three samples was 40 micrograms/cubic meter of air. Can the sample be
used to determine compliance with the 50 microgram/cubic meter of air exposure limit?

A. yes, if the un-sampled time was one of no exposure


B. yes, if the un-sampled time is the same as one of the measured sample times.
C. No, you cannot use samples times less than 8 hours to compare to an exposure
limit.

Solution:

Industrial hygienists are often called upon to make assumptions about time that was not
sampled during a particular sampling. If the un-sampled time can be accounted for with
confidence the sampling results may still be usable.

The correct solution is D.
