Analysis:

Endosulfan

Recommended method by the IRSST:
Method: OSHA - PV2023
Sampling device: OVS-2 tube with XAD-2 and glass fiber filter
Parameters:
Flow rate: 1 L/min
TWA sampling volume: 60 L
STEL sampling volume: -
Remarks: The recommanded method for Endosulfan is suitable for both vapor and aerosol phases. The aerosol phase might be underestimated because the efficiency of the sampling device does not match inhalable fraction definition. For more information, please contact the IRSST. This substance is not analyzed by our laboratories. It might be possible that the analysis be performed by another laboratory. Please contact the IRSST before sampling.
Principle: Gas chromatography with electron-capture detection (GC-ECD)
