Posted By Steve Armstrong Does anyone know of a reliable/accepted method for obtaining a measurement (or not as the case may be) for possible atmoshperic Benzene in a potentially gas (CH4) contaminated environment, that does not involve either Draeger Tubes or portable gas chromatograph. Failing that, does anyone know if the aforementioned methods are acceptable despite the manufacturers recommendations to the contrary. Incidentally, I should point out this is not for the purposes of personal exposure monitoring. I would appreciate any advice. Regards Steve Armstrong MIOSH

Posted By Paul Leadbetter Steve According to an application guide which I recently received, photoionisation detectors (such as those sold and hired out by Shawcity 01367 241675) do not detect methane but are very good at detecting benzene. I am sure that they would be only too pleased to discuss your application. Regards Paul Leadbetter
