Passive (Diffusive) Monitors
Research Reports
Rigorous scientific tests should be performed when using passive samplers for
compliance purposes to ensure that results meet accuracy and precision requirements.
SKC has scientifically validated the sampling rate of the 575 Series Passive
Samplers along with other critical sampling parameters to provide you with documented
proof of reliability.

575 Series Passive Samplers Specified in OSHA Diffusive Methods
OSHA specifies SKC 575 Series diffusive (passive) samplers as a viable alternative
to active sampling in six OSHA diffusive methods. OSHA continues its work on
diffusive method development.
