scope:
Describes a procedure for the determination of formaldehyde (HCHO) and other carbonyl compounds (aldehydes and ketones) in air. The method is specific for formaldehyde but, with modification, at least thirteen other carbonyl compounds can be detected and quantified. It is suitable for determination of formaldehyde and other carbonyl compounds in the concentration range of aproximately 1 µg/m3 to 1 mg/m3. The sampling method gives a time-weighted average (TWA) sample. It can be used for long-term (1 h to 24 h) or short-term (5 min to 60 min) sampling of air for formaldehyde.
