Objective
Provide examples where field-portable GC-MS has Provide examples where field-portable GC-MS has been used for qualitative screening that improved been used for qualitative screening that improved exposure assessment outcome and how this tool exposure assessment outcome and how this tool will and how this will affect the practice of will and how this will affect the practice of preventionprevention

Exposure AssessmentExposure assessment is an important part of research Exposure assessment is an important part of research and preventionand prevention
(1) Researchers need to link exposures to outcomes(1) Researchers need to link exposures to outcomes
(2) Practitioners need to understand exposures to verify (2) Practitioners need to understand exposures to verify if they are acceptableif they are acceptable
In both cases, unknown and unexpected exposures
are undesirable

Exposure to Volatile Analytes from Handling
Irradiated Mail
Field identification was requiredat the point of contaminant generationto quickly answer fundamental exposure assessment questions ; numerousvolatile, irritating chemicals were shownto be produced by the irradiation process
![Page 19: Industrial Hygiene Applications of Portable GC-MS](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56815af5550346895dc8b1f6/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Problem: Initially unknown exposures to volatile organic chemicals among legislative workers handling mail irradiated as a protection against anthraxWhy use GC/MS for this problem?
(1) Complex mixture with many trace components
(2) Initially, composition completely unknown

Conclusions (Continued)
One of the most powerful qualityimprovements possible has repeatedlybeen shown to be: “understand qualitativesituation first using Level-3 gear…THEN quantify”
Our profession must drive (or at leastparticipate in) development of better systems in levels 1-3
