[Evaluation of a new alveolar air sampler]

A new alveolar air sampler is described and tested; it can be used in monitoring subjects exposed to gas and vapours in their working places. The tests were made under different experimental conditions, using both vapours of industrial solvents as acetone, ethanol, trichloroethylene, methyl ethyl ketone, n-hexane, ethyl acetate and respiratory gas (O2, CO2).
