Which term describes the collection and analysis of airborne contaminants?

• A. Vector
• B. Abatement
• C. Acute health effects
• D. Air Sampling

Answer: (D)

Air sampling is the process of collecting air samples and analyzing them to measure contaminant concentrations in the workplace air. This approach lets you assess exposure levels, compare them to allowed limits, and determine whether current controls are effective or if additional measures are needed. A vector refers to an organism that transmits disease, not a sampling method. Abatement is about reducing or eliminating hazards, not measuring them. Acute health effects describe immediate health responses, not the act of collecting and analyzing air contaminants.
