Analysis:

Acroléine

Method: IRSST - 385
Sampling device:
Sampling media required:
#IRSSTDescription
2186 Orbo 23 tube 120/60 mg

Parameters:
Flow rate: 0,1 L/min
TWA sampling volume: 10 L
STEL sampling volume: -
Remarks: Before and after sampling, the tubes must be kept in the freezer.
Principle: Gas chromatography with mass spectrometry (GC-MS)
Precision (%): 9,9
Minimum reported value: 0,04 µg
Remarks: Eleven aldehydes are determined simultaneously: acetaldehyde, isobutyraldehyde, isovaleraldehyde, propionaldehyde, butyraldehyde, furfural, heptanal, hexanal, valeraldehyde, acrolein and formaldehyde. This method must not be used for the specific evaluation of formaldehyde; the methods to be used in this case are 295-1 and 357-1.
