A new tool for sampling airborne isocyanates
1Unita Operativa Ospedaliera Medicina del Lavoro, USSL 63 Desio, Milano, Italy.
Abstract:
A new sampling system is presented that uses solid sorbent media contained in a tube for the determination of airborne isocyanates (2.4-2.6 toluene diisocyanate, hexamethylene diisocyanate, and 4.4' diaminodiphenylmethane diisocyanate). The method is compared with the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Method P&CAM 5505 (Revision #1). Experimental tests yielded results that were highly concordant with the NIOSH method.
