Standard Test Method for Analysis of Organic Compound Vapors Collected by the Activated Charcoal Tube Adsorption Method

Importancia y uso:

5.1 Promulgations by the U.S. Federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) in 29 CFR 1910 designate that certain organic compounds must not be present in workplace atmospheres at concentrations above specified values.

5.2 This test method, when used in conjunction with Practice D3686, will promote needed accuracy and precision in the determination of airborne concentrations of many of the organic chemicals including but not limited to 29 CFR 1910, CDC-99-74-45, NIOSH Manual of Analytical Methods, OSHA Sampling and Analytical Methods, and HSE Methods for the Determination of Hazardous Substances. It can be used to determine worker exposures to these chemicals, provided appropriate sampling periods are used.

5.3 Most laboratories are equipped with apparatus similar to that described in Section 7. Other apparatus can be used when analytical procedures suitable for that equipment are employed. The analytical techniques (or variations thereof) described in Sections 9 – 11 are in general use to analyze volatile organic compounds extracted from charcoal. Other procedures can be used when appropriate and validated as being suitable for the intended use.
