Sets out a method for the sampling and analysis of inspirable dust in workplace atmospheres. This method is used to assess personal exposure by sampling of a worker's zone. While the method allows only for personal sampling, it can be used to assist in controlling the occupational environment by means of fixed position (i.e. static) samples. The method complements AS 2985.
