Analysis:

Cadmium (exprimé en Cd)

Method: IRSST - 362

Sampling protocol

Sampling device:
Sampling media required:

#IRSST	Description
913	MCE filter, 37 mm, 0,8µm, preweighed

Parameters:
Flow rate: 1,5 L/min
TWA sampling volume: 180 L
STEL sampling volume: -
Remarks: Refer to the information in InfoLABO 2018-11 regarding limitations related to gravimetric measurement obtained through the use of these cassette. A surface wipe sampling is available. For more information, please contact the IRSST.

Analytical protocol

Principle: Inductively coupled plasma spectrometry (ICP-MS)
Precision (%): 2,5
Minimum reported value: 0,05 µg
Remarks: This method allows the analysis of chemical elements present in the sample without distinguishing the different chemical forms. The analytical results are expressed as total cadmium.
