Title Propylene oxide in air - Gas chromatographic determination
Original title Propylenoxid i luft - gaskromatografisk bestämning [in Swedish]

Abstract This research report covers: equipment and reagents; preparation of standard solutions and filling, desorption and analysis of activated charcoal tube; results (desorption yield, absorption capacity, sample stability after a few days storage); discussion. The quantities of propylene oxide desorbed were 0.002-2.0mg. The described method has several advantages over that recommended by NIOSH, since it is more sensitive.
