~~THE THINGS THAT CAN HAPPEN WHILE CONDUCTING OUR EXPERIMENT~~ aka Risk Assessment






~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~


Activity: Collecting PM2.5 using FRM designated sampler


Things that can go wrong: 

          1. PM 2.5 is not filtered properly


          2. Hands getting injured by sampler




What will happen then?


          1. Cause respiratory and cardiovascular diseases if inhaled 


What can be done about it?

          1. Wear a N95 mask

Activity: Handling and Post-Sampling Shipment of Filter


Things that can go wrong: 

          1. Release of concentrated sample into the environment 


What will happen then? 

          1. Loss of sample

          2. Contamination of sample

          3. Cause harm to anyone who inhale the concentrated sample


What can be done about it:

          1. Seal tightly after placing samples into sterile containers and properly labeling the containers to prevent cross contamination.

          2. Work in a vacuumed environment

Activity: Preparing Filters for Filtration of PM2.5 


Things that can go wrong:


          1. Filters are faulty


What will happen then:

          1. Release of concentrated sample into the environment 


What can be done about it:


          1. Prenumber filter with unique identification number and must meet the requirements of the Reference Method


          2. Wear disposable, powder-free gloves while handling filters both in the laboratory or in the field


          3. Inspect the filters each time before use
