Bibliographic information HSE Books, P.O. Box 1999, Sudbury, Suffolk CO10 6FS, United Kingdom, June 1995. 8p. 20 ref. Price: GBP 4.00.
Abstract This data sheet describes a method for the determination of sodium, ammonium and potassium peroxodisulfate salts in air. The method is suitable for sampling over the range 15min to 8h. Qualitative and quantitative detection limits are 0.29µgmL-1 and 0.96µgmL-1 respectively. Principle: a measured volume of air is drawn through a filter mounted in an inhalable dust sampler. The filter and sample are treated with water and the mixture swirled on an orbital shaker. The resulting solution is diluted with water and the peroxodisulfate concentration determined using mobile phase ion chromatography.
