Time integrated NIOSH 5040 samples
Set pump flowrate for 1.7 lpm for 0.8 μm cutpointIt is important to check flowrate both before and after sampling.
Probably use this methodology when checking to ensure compliance.

DPM concentrations are a result of DPM entering mine plus DPM emitted in mine
Background samples will measure the amount of DPM entering the working face
Samples collected at the face will measure the amount of DPM to which miners are exposed.
DPM emitted from the diesel equipment is the difference between background and working face measurements

Is it better to collect personal or area samples?
What question needs answered?
To check for compliance a personal sample may be necessary.
Need shift information on a particular miner
To check for effectiveness of control technologies than an area sample may be better choice
Need information on DPM concentrations in work area
