3M Monitor Badges
The 3M range of monitor badges, based on the principle of passive diffusion,
offer a simple but highly effective method of testing personal exposure levels to
gas and vapours.
3500 - monitor for organic vapours
3520 - two-stage monitor for specific applications
3551 - monitor for ethylene oxide
Composition
• The monitor badges are very light: the weight varies from 12g to 20g,
depending on the model.
• The monitor badge consists of a plastic housing containing an
adsorbent, secured by a plastic ring.
• The monitor badge is equipped with a permeable membrane on the
front and a fastener on the top.
The 3M 3551 monitor for ethylene oxide
• Working temperature: -30°C to +55°C
• Ambient humidity: relative humidity from 0 to 95%
• Maximum range of operation: from 0.24 to 600 ppm-hours
• Air speed: 4.58 m/min minimum (for atmosphere sampling)
• No specific interference
Instructions for use
• The monitor badge comes in a sealed box. This box should not be opened
until you are ready to use the monitor badge.
• The time when exposure commences should be recorded on the back of
the monitor badge.
• The monitor badge is fastened to the user’s collar, with the white
membrane facing towards the front.
• On completion of the sampling operation, the end-of-exposure time is
recorded on the back of the monitor badge.
• The locking ring and the membrane are removed using a coin or
screwdriver and the transparent lid, with the two caps closed, is placed
over the monitor badge.
• Put the unit back into the container and note down the relevant data on
the label: temperature, relative humidity, wearer’s name, monitor No., etc.
• For further information, see the “3M Monitor Badge Sampling Guide”.
Usage
• To carry out an individual sampling operation while working, the
monitor should be attached to the user’s clothing, in the vicinity of the
nose and mouth.
• The contaminant defuses through the permeable membrane and is
adsorbed by an active adsorbent.
• The concentration level in the sampling area can be calculated on the
basis of the quantity adsorbed on the monitor badge, in relation to the
exposure time.
The monitor badges have a storage life of 18 months, providing they are
kept in a dry, cool place, with no organic vapours or ethylene oxide in the
atmosphere.

Technical Specifications
The 3M 3500 monitor for organic vapours
The 3M 3500 is designed for monitoring a broad range of organic vapours.
See the Substance list overleaf for details.
• Working temperature: -30°C up to +55°C
• Ambient humidity: relative humidity from 0 to 95%
• Air Speed: 7.62m/min minimum (for atmosphere sampling)
• No specific interferences
Field Blanks
A blank sample is a monitor badge of the same type as those that are
being used to sample with, but which has not been exposed to the
contaminated environment. Their purpose is to detect contamination that
may have either pre-existed in the sample media, or was inadvertently
introduced during shipping or storage. Blanks are analysed at the same
time, and with the same methodology, as the regular samples.
Blanks must be included with every set of samples taken; their submission
is a quality control requirement. Without blanks, sample results may be
unreliable. There should be at least one blank per monitor badge type for
each day of sampling. When determining how many monitor badges you
need for your sampling regime ensure the required number of blanks are
included within your calculations. Please refer to the “3M Monitor Badge
Sampling Guide” for more information.
The 3M 3520 monitor for organic vapours (with “back-up” zone)
The 3520 has the same specifications as the 3500 but the effective
capacity is four times greater than that of the 3500 monitor.
This monitor is particularly suitable for:
• When compound concentration is known to be high
• Vinyl chloride, acrylonitrile and some alcohols
• Conditions of high relative humidity
