[Ion Chromatography Method of Four Carboxylic Acids in Workplace Air]

Objective: To assess psychological acceptance and occupational stress of medical staff, analyze the relationship among personality, psychological acceptance and occupational stress and discuss the direct or indirect effects of personality to occupational stress. Methods: The gaseous four kinds of carboxylic acids in the workplace air were simultaneously collected by silica gel tube, and then desorbed by deionized water and eluted by ion chromatograph. The the content was detected by conductivity detector. Results: The linear relationship was good in the concentration range of about 0~140 mg/L. The correlation coefficient r>0.999, and the maximum detection limit was 4.5 μg/mL. The sampling efficiency of the four carboxylic acids ranges from 96.10%~100.27%. Through the sample added recovery experiments, the low and high content of the silicone tube samples were detected; and the range of desorption efficiency was 82.18%~100.12%; the range of precision was 0.70%~3.71%. Conclusion: This method adopts deionized water to desorb samples, and the application of ion chromatography detection have reached the requirements of《Guidelines for the establishment of occupational health standards, Part 4: Determination of chemical substances in workplace air》, which can be used in four kinds of workplace air detection of carboxylic acid compounds.
