Determination of ethyl bromide in the workplace air by gas chromatography with mass detection (GC-MS)
Journal Title: Podstawy i Metody Oceny Środowiska Pracy - Year 2013, Vol 29, Issue 1
Abstract
A new procedure has been developed for the assay of ethyl bromide with gas chromatography with mass detection (GC-MS). The method is based on the adsorption of ethyl bromide on petroleum charcoal and desorption with 10% acetone in toluene. The resulting solutions are analysed with GC-MS.The working range of this analytical method is from 10 to 1500 µg/ml (1 to 150 mg/m[sup]3[/sup] for a 10-L air sample). Limit of quantification: 1.76 µg/ml.The developed method of determining ethyl bromide has been recorded as an analytical procedure, which is available in the Appendix.
