Analysis:

Warfarin

Recommended method by the IRSST:
Method: NIOSH - 5002
Sampling device: Polytetrafluoroethylene (teflon) filter
Parameters:
Flow rate: 1-4 L/min
TWA sampling volume: 400 L
STEL sampling volume: -
Remarks: The aerosol phase might be underestimated because the efficiency of the sampling device does not match inhalable fraction definition. This substance is not analyzed by our laboratories. It might be possible that the analysis is performed by another laboratory. Please contact the IRSST before sampling.
Principle: High performance liquid chromatography with UV detection (HPLC-UV)
Remarks: The recommended method allows analysis of the substance but is not sensitive enough for an adequate comparison to the permissible exposure value.
