RealTimeAirMonitoring1
Realtime air monitoring was conducted to evaluate the potential airborne presence of gasolineassociated
constituents,ifany,duringresponseoperations. Allinstrumentationwascalibratedatleastonceperdayorper
manufacturers recommendations. Target analytes were measured as total volatile organic compounds (VOCs),
oxygen, benzene, and flammability as the percent of the lower explosive limit (LEL) using remote telemetering
RAESystemsAreaRAEs,handheldinstrumentssuchasRAESystemsMultiRAEPro/PlusandUltraRAEs,aswellas
Gasteccolorimetricdetectiontubes.

Real-time air monitoring refers to the use of hand-held instruments that provide near-instantaneous readings of an airborne chemical concentration without the need for
laboratory analysis.

Drift is defined as any interference in the PIDs or electrochemical sensors ability to accurately report the concentration of a chemical in the atmosphere. Humidity, rapid
temperature changes, and compromised batteries are examples of common sources of drift.
