Summary

Air samples were collected at two coal gasification facilities. Preliminary analysis indicates that leaks were isolated in both facilities. H/sub 2/S levels were, in general, < CO levels. At one facility, cyclohexane extractable levels were < 40 ..mu..g/m/sup 3/. Statistical analysis of dilution factor data between simulated releases and air samplers in a workroom was performed. This analysis isolated areas with relatively poor coverage and determined that the workroom's sampling system had a high probability of detecting a release of 10 times the maximum permissible air concentration from any of the release locations tested. The analysis determined that six was the optimum number of samplers in that workroom.
