RE: personal alpha cam

Ed:

We are using a lapel sampler inside the bubble suit; however, we need a real
time indication of the levels inside the suit because the lapel doesn't give
us any information until the individual exits.  We are controlling based on
air activity in the work area divided by the protection factor of the
respirator the individual is wearing inside the bubble suit.  We can take no
credit for the protection afforded by the bubble suit.
