Objective To establish a rapid on-site detection method for detecting formaldehyde in workplace air using the length detector tube method. Methods The length detector tube was applied to detect the level of formaldehyde in workplace air. Performance indicators, including accuracy, precision, stability, and interference susceptibility, of the method were validated. Results The formaldehyde length detector tube can determine formaldehyde mass concentrations ranging from 0.05 to 4.00 mg/m³ at 25 ℃, covering 0.5 to 2.0 times the occupational exposure limit for formaldehyde (0.50 mg/m³). Under conditions of 10 to 35 ℃ and relative humidity <80.00%, the average recovery was 93.33%-101.67%, and all the within-run method ranges from -21.67% to 20.00%, and all the relative standard deviations were <10.00%. The average decrease rate of formaldehyde in gas bags within 24 hours ranged from -8.33% to 8.33%. Common coexisting substances in workplaces, such as methanol, benzene, toluene, hydrogen chloride, and nitrogen dioxide, did not interfere with the measurements. However, aldehydes and ketones might cause overestimation. Conclusion The formaldehyde length detector tube method demonstrates high accuracy and specificity for detecting formaldehyde in air, making it suitable for rapid monitoring of formaldehyde in workplace air.

Occupational health technical service (OHTS) is a key technical pillar of the occupational disease prevention and control system, involving directly on the protection of workers' health rights and interests as well as the effectiveness of occupational disease prevention and control. Currently, the quality control of OHTS primarily relies on post-event supervision and result verification, suffering from issues such as weak management of on-site investigation procedures, lack of oversight during on-site sampling and measurement, insufficient traceability in laboratory testing processes, an incomplete whole-process management and control system, and a lack of quality culture guidance. These problems make it difficult to meet the core requirements for high-quality development of OHTS. Introducing the whole-process management theory into the quality control of OHTS, combined with digital and intelligent technical means, a quality control model covering the entire chain of "prevention in advance, control during the process, improvement afterward" can be set up to achieve systematic management of the entire OHTS process. The prevention stage focuses on establishing and implementing a strict qualification review mechanism, conducting scientific on-site investigations and program planning, and establishing a program review mechanism. The process control stage emphasizes the development of an "informatization + standardization " on-site sampling management and control system as well as a full-process traceability system for laboratory testing. The post-event improvement focuses on establishing a mechanism for collecting and analyzing quality issues, formulating and implementing corrective measures, conducting regular summaries and continuous optimization, and establishing a quality incentive mechanism. The quality control model based on whole-process management enables effective supervision and management of the entire OHTS chain, obviously improving the standardization and authenticity of on-site sampling and laboratory testing. By integrating information technology with a culture-guided management control approach, it can provide a new pathway for the high-quality development of OHTS.

Objective To analyze the emergency testing results of a mixed poisoning incident involving methyl acetate and dimethyl carbonate in a composite fabric processing enterprise. Methods A mixed poisoning incident involving methyl acetate and dimethyl carbonate occurred at a composite fabric processing enterprise in a city of Guangdong Province. On-site occupational health investigation data and laboratory testing results related to this incident were collected, and an integrated analysis was conducted. Results The on-site occupational health investigation revealed inadequate ventilation and non-standard use of personal protective equipment. Volatile organic component analysis of raw and auxiliary materials showed that methyl acetate and dimethyl carbonate had relatively high percentages of peak area among all used volatile organic chemical agents in post-incident emergency testing, accounting for 65.10% and 38.25%, respectively. The exposure concentration of short term (C_STE) of methyl acetate in the production line air was 15.13 mg/m³. In the chemical storage area, C_STE of methyl acetate and methanol were 451.04 and <0.21 mg/m³, respectively, all below their respective occupational exposure limits (500.00 and 50.00 mg/m³). In the poisoned workers, blood methanol, blood formic acid, and urinary formic acid levels were 147, 414, and 4 389 mg/L, respectively. Conclusion Occupational exposure to methyl acetate and dimethyl carbonate may lead to acute occupational poisoning and cause health damage. Employers should fulfill their responsibilities for occupational disease prevention by ensuring proper operation of protective facilities, while workers should enhance awareness of occupational disease prevention and correctly use personal protective equipment.

Dust and chemical substances are widely present occupational hazards in workplaces. Long-term exposure to dust and chemical substances can pose serious threats to workers′ health. Owing to their advantages in real-time detection, rapid response, and high accuracy, online monitoring technologies enable continuous measurement and analysis of the concentration and composition of dust and chemical substances in workplaces. These technologies provide timely and effective data support for the prevention and control of occupational diseases and have become an important protective tool in the field of occupational hazard. Current online monitoring technologies for workplace dust mainly include the tapered element oscillating microbalance method, light scattering method, β-ray method, triboelectric charging, video exposure monitoring, and ultrasonic methods. Online monitoring devices for workplace chemical substances are still in the early stages of development. However, this equipment has been partially applied in environmental monitoring, covering methods such as spectral analysis, electrochemical sensors, cataluminescence sensors, and intelligent sensing systems. In the future, the development of online dust monitoring technology should focus on overcoming technical bottlenecks to improve detection accuracy and exploring the synergistic effects of different technologies to compensate for the limitations of single methods. Meanwhile, online monitoring technologies for chemical substances should aim to develop integrated detection systems that combine high precision, real-time performance, low cost, and stability.

Objective To summarize the key precautions in the determination of nitrogen oxides (nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide) in the workplace air and to explore potential optimization items in the national standard analytical method. Methods According to GBZ/T 160.29-2004 Methods for Determination of Inorganic Nitrogen Compounds in the Air Workplace, comparative experiments were conducted to evaluate and optimize critical technical parameters of the standardized method, including the oxidation efficiency of oxidation tubes and the preparation and storage of absorption solutions. The application details of the standard method were refined. Results The concentrations of nitrogen oxides (nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide) were expressed as nitrogen dioxide equivalents. During calibration, the flow calibrator should be connected to the upstream of the air sampler, and the sampling system should undergo an air tightness check. Each batch of oxidation tubes should be validated before use. Before sampling, both end caps should be removed and the tube should be equilibrated for one hour in a clean environment with 30.00%-70.00% relative humidity. The prepared absorption stock solution in this method can be stored at 4 ℃ for up to 96 days. Commercial porous plate absorption tubes must be batch-validated before use. The sampling flow rate during sampling should be consistent with that specified in the standard method. After sampling, collected samples should be sealed in 10.00 mL amber glass bottles with screw caps and stored at 4 ℃ for up to 120 hours. Conclusion This study summarizes precautions for the sampling, detection, and calculation of nitrogen oxides (nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide)in workplace air to strengthen quality control. Experimental optimizations of oxidation tube conditioning, absorption stock solution preparation and preservation, and sample storage conditions and durations may provide references for diversifying and simplifying the detection process, which facilitate the practical application in actual work.
