Atmospheric Dust Fall Determination - Practical and Theory
The course aims to train the trainees so that they are able to do the following:
1. Understand what fallout dust monitoring achieves and what is collected. This will include discussion around the legislative requirements and will also address the possible influences of dust sensitive areas like communities, hospitals, farms, and recreational areas.
2. Prepare buckets, transport buckets and change buckets in the Fallout Dust Monitoring units.
3.Filter the bucket contents using a filter bench and using the related equipment used in the filtering process. This includes advice on how to minimise the filtering time and what can be done when samples are taking very long to filter.
4. Understands how to calculate the fallout dust monitoring results in mg/m2/day and how to interpret these results.
If time allows, other aspects can be discussed to suite the specific requirements of the people being trained.
