What is a detector tube used for in occupational hygiene?

To measure the humidity level in the air
To detect the presence of flammable gases
To determine the concentration of a gaseous air contaminant
To measure the airflow rate in ventilation systems

The correct answer is: To determine the concentration of a gaseous air contaminant

A detector tube is a type of sampling equipment commonly used in the field of occupational hygiene. It is specifically designed to measure the concentration of gaseous air contaminants, making option C the correct answer. Option A is incorrect because humidity levels, while important to assess for indoor air quality, are not considered a gaseous air contaminant. Option B is also incorrect as the purpose of a detector tube is not to detect the presence of flammable gases, but rather to measure their concentration. Similarly, option D is incorrect as a detector tube is not used to measure airflow rates in ventilation systems.
