Measuring Nitrous Oxide in Dental Clinics: Evaluating Agreement Between Three Types of Nitrous Oxide Samplers

Abstract

The objective of this study was to determine the agreement between a MiranSapphIRe infrared ambient analyzer, traditional passive dosimeter badges (badges), and thermal desorption tubes (TD tubes) during nitrous oxide (N2O) sampling in Indian Health Service (IHS) dental clinics. Agreement acceptable to IHS would be 15% of the MiranSapphIRe and could offer evidence for the TD tubes as being a potential alternative for future passive sampling of N2O exposures in IHS clinics.
