Indoor, ambient and workplace air - Sampling and analysis of volatile organic compounds by sorbent tube/thermal desorption/capillary gas chromatography - Part1:Pumped sampling (ISO 16017-1:2000, IDT)
This Malaysian Standard gives general guidance for the sampling and analysis of volatile organic compounds(VOCs)in air. It is applicable to ambient, indoor and workplace atmospheres and the assessment of emissions from materials in small-or full-scale test chambers.
This Malaysian Standard is appropriate for a wide range of VOCs, including hydrocarbons, halogenated hydro-carbons, esters, glycolethers, ketones and alcohols. A number of sorbents are recommended for the sampling of these VOCs, each sorbent having a different range of applicability. Very polar compounds will generally require derivatization, very low boiling compounds will only be partially retained by the sorbents, depending on ambient temperature, and can only be estimated qualitatively. Semi-volatile compounds will be fully retained by the sorbents, but may only be partially recovered. Compounds for which this part of MS ISO 16017 has been tested are given in tables.
