| Abstract: | Tests were conducted to determine the limitations of glass fiber filters in sampling atmospheric hydrogen fluoride. Filters without latex binder were more efficient collectors than those with the binder. Up to 75 μg F/in.2 of filter area was collected by a single filter before the loss reached 5 percent. Two filters, one behind the other, collected over 250 μg F/in.2 of filter area before loss through them reached five percent. By controlling the sampling rate and time to avoid exceeding the saturation limit, it is possible to use glass fiber filters for sampling over a wide range of fluoride concentrations. |
