The cyclone used by OSHA to sample for silica has a flowrate of1.7 L/min, while the cyclone approved by NIOSH has a flowrate of2.5 L/min. A laboratory has an LOD for silica of 0.005 mg. How doesthe minimum airborne silica concentration needed for a detectablesample compare between OSHA and NIOSH? Assume the sample wascollected for a full 8-hour shift. How does these airborneconcentrations compare to the ACGIH TLV
