... AELs will also increase if state regulators require that In both systems, all process vapor emissions are passed MINICAMS alarm set points and DAAMS reportable limits through activated carbon and monitored before being are set at some percentage of the new AELs. Even if these released to the ambient environment.

... If states require that the DAAMS reportable STELs, then MINICAMS alarm set points and DAAMS limit for the 8-hour WPL be a fraction of the WPL, for reportable limits that are even a small fraction of these values example, 0.50 WPL (or 2 × 10­4 mg/m3) , this will be within will fall well within the certification ranges of existing monithe current certification range for DAAMS under the current toring equipment.

The main problematic aspect that Also, low fractional reportable limits for DAAMS -- for will require remediation concerns personnel who discover example, 2 × 10­7 mg/m3 , or 20 percent of the new WPL -- that they have been exposed to agent at levels above the will present problems in confirmation monitoring since the WPL during the preceding shift. lower end of the certification range for VX using DAAMS Because the RRS will be used at military facilities and the monitors is on the order of 6 × 10­7 mg/m3, as shown in limited quantities of agent do not pose a significant risk to Figure 4-2.
