| Advantages | Disadvantages | |
Minimal training and expertise are required to perform air sampling with Badges. |
Most particles do not follow diffusion laws as vapors do. |
|
Badges minimize interference with worker tasks, promoting worker efficiency. They are small, light, and have no tubes or motors. |
Reporting Limits achieved with badges are higher than can be reached with active sampling methods. For some applications, this is significant. |
|
There are no pumps to purchase, calibrate, recharge or fail in the middle of sampling. |
If you have already invested in Pumps and Sampling Technicians, then Badges cost more than Sampling Tubes or Cassettes. |
|
Lower sampling rates prevent sample capacity exceedance. Badges are tolerated for longer periods. |
A personal Sampling Badge may not be available for the Analyte you wish to sample. |
