9783527270156: Analyses of Hazardous Substances in Air: Volume 1: v. 1 (The MAK–Collection for Occupational Health and Safety. Part III: Air Monitoring Methods (DFG))

Synopsis

The analysis of the levels of hazardous substances in the air inhaled by workers in the chemical industry and similar working environments is necessary to monitor adherence to statutory concentration limits and to protect the workers from the adverse effects of such substances. The analytical methods used for this purpose have to meet exceptionally high standards of reliability and reproducibility.

For many years now, the Analytical Chemistry Group of the Commission for the Investigation of Health Hazards of Chemical Compounds in the Work Area has been involved in the establishment of new methods and the standardization of old ones for sampling and analysis of workplace air. A selection from the results of their efforts has now been translated into English and is presented in the first volume of this series. Considerable emphasis is placed on sample collection methods and on analytical quality control: reproducibility and reliability have been determined by the author of every method and checked by at least one examiner.

Synopsis

The determination of hazardous compounds in the air of work areas is an often used procedure for estimating individual exposure to a hazardous substance. This volume comprises 16 analytical methods for determining organic compounds and heavy metals by high pressure liquid chromatography, gas chromatography, infrared spectroscopy and atomic absorption spectrometry. The analytical reliability and reproducibility of these methods have been tested and confirmed; the methods are appropriate for monitoring the adherence to relevant limit values; moreover, they are described in such detail that the technical assistant can use them without having to refer to additional sources; three fundamental chapters on active and diffuse sampling, on quality criteria of analytical methods and on adsorbents are also included.
