| Abstract |
This personal air sampling method is based on trapping ethylene oxide in dilute sulfuric acid, where it is converted to ethylene glycol, which is determined by gas chromatography. The column used produces linear calibration curves and symmetrical peaks. 94.2% of the ethylene oxide was recovered at an air concentration of 1-8ppm. The technique is independent of air flow and sample size. Its advantages over the charcoal tube method and its shortcomings are discussed. |
