| Abstract |
Air containing suspended fenuron (a herbicide) is drawn through an appropriate filter. Trapped particulates are extracted from the filter with ethyl alcohol and applied to silica gel thin-layer chromatography plates. The plates are developed with a 1:1 mixture of hexane and acetone. Fenuron on the plates is visualised by diazotisation and treatment with α-naphthol or diphenylamine. The amount of fenuron present is determined by comparison of the area of the sample spot with the areas of standard spots. As little as 0.2µg fenuron can be detected; for a typical sample size of 2l air, this represents a concentration of 0.1mg/m3. The range of measurable concentrations is 0.1-1mg/m3, with a precision of 15%. Other industrial phenylureas do not interfere with the determination. |
