Determining acrylic acid in workplace air with HPLC
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 acrylic acid with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with an ultraviolet detector. The method is based on the adsorption of acrylic acid in two (connected in a series) sorbent tubes containing Supelite DAX-8 resin. The adsorbed compound is eluted with a methanol: water (1:1) mixture. The resulting solutions are analysed withHPLC with ultraviolet (λ=210 nm) detection. The working range of the analytical method is from 0.002 to 0.08 mg/ml (1 – 40 mg/m[sup]3[/sup] for a 20-L air sample). Limit of quantification: 0.02 µg/ml.The developed method of determining acrylic acid has been recorded as an analytical proce-dure, which is available in the Appendix.
