Zinc chloride, fume
Analysis:
Zinc (exprimé en Zn)
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. For surface wipe sampling, contact Laboratory Customer Service.
Analytical protocol
Principle:
Inductively coupled plasma spectrometry (ICP-MS)
Precision (%):
2,9
Minimum reported value:
1 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 zinc. A stoichiometric factor must be applied.
