Título A comparison of methods for the determination of diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) in air samples
Información bibliográfica Mar. 1982, Vol.43, No.3, p.160-163. 16 ref.
Resumen High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), colorimetric, and continuous tape monitoring methods were compared in the determination of concentrations of MDI in the air of 2 different industrial environments and a laboratory exposure chamber. Neither the colorimetric nor the tape monitoring methods were sensitive enough to determine concentrations of MDI < 0.2 x 10-2 and < 1 x 10-2mg/m3 respectively. Determinations made with the HPLC method at different rates of sampling yielded similar results on simultaneous sampling even at concentration levels of 0.2 x 10-2mg/m3, indicating that this method is useful for both sampling and analysis. The volumes during sampling were in the 5-150l range. The flow rate chosen was 2.5-3.0l/min. The concentration of MDI in the atmospheres of the workplaces was below the current threshold limit value of 0.2mg/m3.
