A method for reading and analyzing a diffusion-cell colorimetric exposimeter for making a quantitative determination of the time-weighted average (TWA) exposure to airborne gases or vapors. The diffusion cell is optically scanned to form color video signal data representative of the primary color components of the image formed from the reaction of the chromophoric reagent and pollutant. The data is converted to digital data and processed to compute exposure for a given pollutant gas as a function of color intensity for at least one of the primary color components.

Method for real-time colorimetric measurement of exposure to airborne

A direct-read exposimeter for providing a visual, graded measurement of color variation corresponding to different ranges of dosage exposure to a polluting gas in the atmosphere over a given time period. The exposimeter includes a color-forming member and at least one gas-diffusion control member within an enclosure formed between a base and a cover. The cover has a number of openings exposed to the atmosphere in alignment with a number of separate diffusion zones formed in the gas-diffusion control member.
