[Use of passive personal samplers in industrial hygiene].

Passive personal samplers are very easy devices to monitor occupational exposure and today they are wildely used on the field. In this study we don't speak about background theory of passive sampler but we critically review parameters influencing the results like: maximum and minimum detectable concentration, adsorbing substrate, sampling time, answer time, control and comparison with standard methods. We also illustrate some industrial hygiene strategy to use passive personal sampler on the field, the possible goals, the individuals of which we need collaboration.
