Publisher's Synopsis
This publication provides information on sampling for 1,3-butadiene in air using pumped samplers, thermal desorption and gas chromatography. It updates and replaces MDHS 53. The principal changes are (i) to recommend a drying pre-filter when using Molecular Sieve 13X sorbent; (ii) to add new validation data for Molecular Sieve 13X and for graphitized carbon blacks as alternate sorbents. It would be of use to occupational hygienists, safety practitioners, laboratory techinicans and the like.
