Abstract: The results of model measurements and the values of basic parameters of diffusion dosimeters which are independent of the rate of air flow in the investigated range 0.1—3 m s^-1 are presented in this paper. The basic parameters of diffusion dosimeters obtained from model experiments involving the determination of toluene and n-butyl alcohol were used for calculating the basic parameters incident to methyl methacrylate, butyl acrylate, vinyl chloride, and vinyl acetate. In field-work conditions, the reliability and correctness of the withdrawal with passive dosimeters were verified on the basis of comparison with the standard method of sampling chemical contaminants with sampling tube.
