Evaluation of charcoal sampling tubes.

American Industrial Hygiene Association Journal

|January 1, 1976

Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

MSA charcoal tubes and USAF Environmental Health Laboratory tubes show comparable effectiveness for air sampling. Recovery efficiencies for 10 solvents were determined, and the impact of moisture on gravimetric analysis was assessed.

Background:

Charcoal tubes are commonly used for air sampling in occupational and environmental settings.
Standardized methods are crucial for accurate exposure assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

To compare the effectiveness of MSA charcoal tubes with those developed by the USAF Environmental Health Laboratory.
To determine the recovery efficiencies of charcoal tubes for various solvents.
To investigate the influence of moisture on gravimetric analysis.

Main Methods:

Statistical comparison of MSA and USAF Environmental Health Laboratory charcoal tube effectiveness.
Determination of tube recovery efficiencies for 10 different solvents.
Assessment of moisture effects on gravimetric analysis.

Main Results:

No statistically significant differences were found between the MSA and USAF Environmental Health Laboratory charcoal tubes.
Tube recovery efficiencies were established for 10 solvents with limited or no prior data.
The effects of moisture on gravimetric analysis were quantified.

Conclusions:

MSA charcoal tubes are a viable alternative to those from the USAF Environmental Health Laboratory.
The study provides valuable data on solvent recovery and moisture interference for improved air sampling accuracy.
