Indoor air - Part 13: Determination of total (gas and particle-phase) polychlorinated dioxin-like biphenyls (PCBs) and polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins/dibenzofurans (PCDDs/PCDFs) - collection on sorbentbacked filters (ISO 16000-13:2008, IDT)
This Malaysian Standard specifies sampling and preparation of sampling media for dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) in indoor air. This standard incorporates a sampling procedure that collects PCBs and PCDDs/PCDFs from air on a fine-particle filter backed up by a sorbent trap. This standard cannot be used to separately determined gaseous PCBs and PCDDs/PCDFs and those that are particle-associated because some of the compounds will volatilize from the filter and be collected by the sorbent trap.
