| Abstract |
The method combined the use of a diffusional dosimeter and a relatively non-toxic buffered formaldehyde absorbing solution. The dosimeter gave reproducible results using two lots of single-backed dimethylsilicone membranes; sampling times from 1 to 7hr; sampling temperatures from 25°C to 38°C; and at face velocities from 0-600ft/min (0-3m/s). Concentrations as low as 0.05ppm were determined over a maximum sampling time of 7hr, yielding a sensitivity better than 0.35ppm.hr. Fluctuating concentrations from 0.5, 1.0 or 2.0ppm background to 10.0ppm for 1/2hr resulted in no significant error. |
