Abstract
This monograph describes, in a general way, published sampling procedures and analytical approaches for known and suspected carcinogens. he primary focus is upon carcinogens found in indoor air, although the methods described are applicable to other media or environments. n cases where there are no published methods for a particular pollutant in indoor air, methods developed for the workplace and for ambient air are included since they should be adaptable to indoor air. nown and suspected carcinogens have been grouped into six categories for the purposes of this and related work. he categories are radon, asbestos, organic compounds, inorganic species, particles, and non-ionizing radiation. ome methods of assessing exposure that are not specific to any particular pollutant category are covered in a separate section. his report is the fifth in a series of EPA/Environmental Criteria and Assessment Office Monographs.
