Badge Monitor
3M Organic Vapor Monitors (3500, 3510, 3520, 3530) may be used to sample many organic
(solvent) vapors such as benzene, toluene, xylene, etc. Also available are 3M Formaldehyde
Monitors (3720, 3721) and 3M Ethylene Oxide Monitors (3550, 3551). 3M monitors are small,
lightweight and easy to use (no pump to charge or calibrate). They are accurate to with +/-25% for
many contaminants, exposure levels and sampling times. However, they are not for sampling
particles or certain gases or vapors.

Respirator Selection Guide
IDLH Levels
• This is the concentration considered Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health (IDLH), as published by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and
Health (NIOSH) (DHHS [NIOSH] Publication No. 90-117).
• The lower explosive level (LEL) has been listed when an IDLH value was not located.
• The concentration that would result in an oxygen deficient atmosphere should also be considered to be IDLH.

Reference: 3M Respirator Selection Guide

© 3M 2018. 3M Confidential. #3MScienceofSafety | 11


Respirator Selection Guide
OEL

• The occupational exposure limits listed are 2015 ACGIH Threshold Limit Values (TLVs), unless otherwise stated.
• The concentrations are expressed in ppm — parts per million (parts of contaminant per million parts of air) — unless specifically stated as mg/m3
(milligrams of contaminant per cubic meter of air) or some other unit.
• The OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) is listed when it is more stringent than the current TLV.
• The 2010 Workplace Environmental Exposure Levels (WEEL) from the American Industrial Hygiene Association is listed when it is the most stringent
value or there is no TLV or PEL
• Time Weighted Average (TWA) exposure limits are for a normal eight (8) hour workday and a forty (40) hour work-week.
• Short-Term Exposure Limit (STEL) is a 15-minute time weighted average exposure which should not be exceeded at any time during a workday. Exposure
above TWA and up to the STEL should be less than 15 min, no more than 4 times a day, and at least 60 min interval.
• Ceiling (C) exposure limits refer to concentrations that should not be exceeded during any part of the working exposure.
• Exposure limits for particulates are as total dust unless otherwise noted (e.g., inhalable fraction, respirable fraction, respirable fibers, etc.)
• Skin notations indicate the substance can be absorbed through the skin. In these cases, appropriate measures must be taken to prevent skin and eye contact
to avoid invalidating the OEL.

Respirator Selection Guide
Respirator Recommendations
• In some cases, the respirator is preceded by an “(F)” designation. This means full facepiece respirators. For concentrations not exceeding ten times (10X)
the OEL, half facepiece respirators (maintenance-free or reusable) with equivalent filters or cartridges may be suitable if appropriate eye protection is
provided.

Respirator Selection Guide
Comments
• A: Short service life means predicted cartridge life of less than 30 minutes at concentrations of ten times (10X) the OEL, or the contaminant’s boiling point
is less than 65C.
• Sometimes, a supplied air respirator is recommended because the service life may be so short that the frequency required for changing the cartridges may
not be practical.
• References to Ineffective sorbents or Unknown sorbent effectiveness indicate 3M does not make chemical cartridge respirators appropriate for these
substances at this time or it is not known how effective the sorbents would be for these materials.
• D: These compounds have been identified as possibly existing in both particulate and vapor phase in the workplace. For these compounds, 3M
recommends that a gas/vapor cartridge be used in addition to the traditionally accepted particulate filter.
• E: These compounds have been identified as possibly existing in both vapor and particulate phase in the workplace. Even though these chemicals would be
expected to be in the vapor phase, when other aerosols are present or there is high humidity, it is possible that the vapor may be adsorbed onto these
coexisting particles or dissolved in available water droplets; therefore, 3M recommends a filter for the particulate phase be used in addition to the
traditionally accepted chemical cartridge.
• F: It is believed that an N-series filter is sufficient since these materials will not coat the filter fibers, but since this material may contain oil aerosols, an R-
or P-series filter is recommended until further research or a regulatory agency takes a specific position.
• H: Listing of 3M 3510, 3530, 3550, or 3720 refers to a 3M™ Personal Air Monitor which may be used to measure the amount of contaminant in the air.

• TDB 118: Selection of 42 CFR 84 approved particulate filters - NIOSH user’s guide

• N-Series: In dirty workplaces (high aerosol concentrations), NIOSH recommends service time should only be extended beyond 8 hours of either
continuous or intermittent use by performing a workplace evaluation - that the total mass loading of the filter(s) is less than 200 mg. For a dual filter
respirator this is 100 mg/filter. To make these estimates the level of contaminant needs to be known along with an estimate of the workers breathing rates.
For example, a moderate breathing rate has been considered to be 10 m3 in an 8 hour day. At a level of 0.5 mg/m3 and a 10 m3/8 hr day breathing rate, a
respirator would load with approximately 5 mg/day.
• R-Series: NIOSH states the R-series filter has no specific service time when oil aerosols are not present and should be used only for a single shift (8 hours
of continuous or intermittent use) when oil is present.
• P-Series: Use and reuse of P-series filters is subject only to considerations for hygiene, damage, and breathing resistance.

• TDB 142: Reuse of Organic vapor chemical cartridges – OV cartridge running clock method

• Migration is mainly a concern for organic vapors, and less so for acid gases, ammonia, methylamine and formaldehyde. Organic vapors can migrate
through an organic vapor cartridge during periods of non-use.
• For organic vapors with a boiling point less than 65°C, OSHA states that organic vapor cartridges must be changed at least every work shift unless the
employer has data regarding contaminant migration – Benzene.
• In general, activated carbon in organic vapor cartridges adsorbs organic vapors with; Molecular weight > 50, Vapor pressure < 10 mm Hg at 25°C, and Not
for chemicals with vapor pressure > 100 mm Hg at 25°C
• An easier solution may be a “running clock”. In other words, the estimated service life starts when the cartridge is first used and continues whether the
cartridge is being used or stored. For example, if the estimated service life is 40 hours, then the organic vapor cartridge may be used for 8 hours, stored 16
hours and used for 8 hours (total time 30 hours) before being discarded.

Service Life - Mixtures
• Short Service Life for Low Exposure Levels: Volatile organic vapors (eg. acetone, isopropanol) will move through the cartridge quickly, regardless
of exposure concentration. If exposure << OEL, may wish to remove them from service life calculation as they will give very short service life
estimate
• Example: 2 ppm acetone vs. OEL of 250 ppm, 2 ppm acetone may come through cartridge before other organic vapors, but is not hazardous
amount, so remove it from service life calculation

• Cartridge change schedule if my exposures are all less than the occupational exposure limits (OELs)?
• Calculate hazard ratio for each contaminant –Exposure level / OEL Toluene: 5 ppm / 20 ppm = 0.25 –For mixtures, sum the hazard ratios 0.25 +
0.1 +… –If hazard ratio < 1 then may not need a respirator or cartridge change schedule… –If hazard ratio > 1 then must determine cartridge
change schedule
• Gas/vapor exposures not hazardous (hazard ratio < 1)
• US OSHA: voluntary use of respirators –change schedules Not required per 29 CFR 1910.134(c)(2

less than 15 min. However the storage area is in total 4 sites and he need to do this job for 5 days. Select the most favorable solution if the employer has
concern on budget. Set up the service life.

• Particulte filter (10 pt)


• Right cartridge selection (10 pt)
• Full facepiece with APF and STEL approach (30 pt)
• 1 hour interval consideration with 4 times limit (10 pt)
• Service life setup with TDB data (40 pt) – 300 ppm approach 20 pt and intermittent approach 40 pt
