What you could do is mount a passive sampler on the wall of the room--someplace central is good--and use the analytical results with the company or to fix your processes.
I have successfully used passive samplers from this company (but it's been a while) and you can buy just one and it includes analysis.
Good luck!

Hello,
I am reaching out to ask if any of you have had issues with wall-mounted gas detection systems reading inaccurately upon installation.
The model, which is an F12iS from Badger Meter, Inc., appears to be reading orders of magnitude higher than it should. This is based on the meter reading found by the IH from our insurance company. Unfortunately, the installing contractors say they won't come back to fix the issue because they believe that the meter reading and alarms are accurate.
Anyway, I am interested in learning about any experience you've had with this or similar situations and any solutions you found worked.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give us with this,
