Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo establish a solvent desorption Gas chromatographic method for detecting the isoflurane in air of workplaces.
METHODSThis method is based on "Standardization of methods for determination of toxic substances in workplace air".
RESULTSThis method presents the linear relation with the minimum detectable limit 1.0 µg/ml and the minimum detectable concentration 0.07 mg/m(3). The precision (RSD) was 0.5% ∼ 5.0%, the mean dsorption efficiencies were 96.7% ∼ 98.9%, the absorption efficiencies were 92.1% ∼ 100%, the breakthrough volume was 3.7 mg isoflurane/100 mg active carbon. Other volatile organic solvents (Sevoflurane, Enflurane and Ethyl Alcohol) did not interfere the detection. The sample could be stored in the active carbon tube at least for 10 days.
CONCLUSIONThis method is meet the requirement of GBZ/T 210.4-2008 "Guide for establishing occupational health standards-Part4: Determination methods of air chemicals in workplace" and is feasible for determining the isoflurane in the air of workplaces.
