Title Determination of 2-ethoxyethyl alcohol in air by gas chromatography
Original title Oznaczanie alkoholu 2-etoksyetylowego w powietrzu metodą chromatografii gazowej [in Polish]
Bibliographic information 1983, Vol.33, No.118, p.143-150. Illus. 6 ref.
Abstract 2-Ethoxyethyl alcohol vapours in air samples may be absorbed in distilled water or on activated carbon and then extracted or desorbed with chloroform. The extracts are analysed by gas chromatography on a 2.5m column of 15% Carbowax 20M on Chromosorb WAW-DMCS and detected by flame ionisation. Ethanol, n-butanol, toluene, o-xylene, 2-vinyl chloride do not interfere. This method detects 2-ethoxyethyl alcohol at concentrations ranging from 0.2 to 2 times the Polish TLV.
