Title Comparative evaluation of the efficiency of carbon monoxide measurement methods in the region of the MAC
Original title Vergleichende Betrachtung der Leistungsfähigkeit von Messmethoden für Kohlenmonoxid im MAK-Bereich [in German]
Bibliographic information June 1980, Vol.26, No.6, p.409-414. Illus. 31 ref.
Abstract The possibilities of use and limitations of indicator tubes are discussed, and the analytical methods and installations used in industrial toxicology laboratories are described and compared: chemical methods, gas chromatography, infrared absorption. Photometric methods have good reproductibility and are suitable for routine analysis. For gas chromatography, the thermal conductivity detector with previous enrichment of the CO is preferred. The infrared absorption technique deserves greater attention.
