Abstract |
As part of a broader programme on the impact of lowering the threshold limit value for formaldehyde, this study involved measuring formaldehyde concentrations in air using different direct reading instruments including two infrared spectrometers, an electrochemical cell analyser and a colorimetric reader. Some of the readings were inconsistent, possibly related to the presence of other organic compounds in the air. The report comments on these findings and presents the detailed results for the four instruments evaluated.
