Publication date:   May 1, 1975

Scope

Sets forth the principles for collecting representative samples and prescribes acceptable methods and materials for gas and particle sampling (collection of the samples, and not their measurement), limited to sampling in installations where work with radioactive materials is conducted, including sampling effluent gases prior to, or at, the point of release to the atmosphere, and with the primary emphasis on the need to protect the radiation worker. Does not consider application of various collectors to specific problems.
