This Standard defines a procedure for personal sampling of airborne particles in welding and allied processes. The procedure covers determination of personal exposure to welding fume and other airborne particles generated by welding related operations. This Standard covers guidance for the use of chemical analysis to determine the personal exposure to specific chemical agents present in welding fume, but analytical methods are not described.
