Notes

Sulfur dioxide (SO₂) is a sampling interference, and oxidizer tubes must be used if SO₂ is suspected to be present; contact the SLTC at (801) 233-5100.
Special requirements

These media are prepared by SLTC as needed and are not available for immediate shipment. Please allow time for SLTC to prepare these media prior to sampling.

* All sampling instructions above are recommended guidelines for OSHA Compliance Safety and Health Officers (CSHOs), please see the corresponding OSHA method reference for complete details.
