Air Monitoring Trials on HMAS OVENS
Abstract
Three air monitoring trials were undertaken in an RAN Oberon class submarine, HMAS Ovens, using an instrument package consisting of commercially available monitors for hydrogen, hydrogen chloride, chlorine, oxygen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, refrigerant R-12, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and aerosols. During the trial periods, dive times were short so there was little opportunity for the build up of air contaminants. However, of the air contaminants measured, only the VOCs exceeded maximum permissible levels although aerosols concentrations were considered to be high by outdoor environmental standards.
