[Determination of ammonia in ambient air by ion chromatography]
Abstract:
The use of the well-known methods for testing the content of ammonia in the air of a populated area at the average daily maximum allowable concentration (0.04 mg/m3) is associated with the high requirement for chemical reagents and with considerable time. Deionized water proposed to be used as an absorption solution in the sample collector with the final ion chromatographic determination of ammonia is an alternative to solving the problem and enables air ammonia to be determined with a sensitivity of 0.02 mg/dm3.
