N-Nitrosopipéridine

Florisil tube 500 mg with pre-tube
2210 Florisil tube with pre-tube

The recommended sampling volume is 400 to 1000 litres. The samples can be
kept for 4 weeks in the dark at 4°C.The simulltaneous determination of 8
nitrosamines can be done on the same tube.
N-Nitrosopyrrolidine

The sampling train consists of a cassette that will collect the PAHs in particulate
form, followed by a tube that will adsorb the PAHs in vapour form. This tube is
connected directly to the pump by Tygon tubing. After sampling, the samples
must be stored in the freezer protected from light. The tubes and filters must be
shipped together. Ten hydrocarbons are determined simultaneously:
acenaphthene, fluorene, phenanthrene, anthracene, fluoranthene, pyrene,
chrysene, benz(a)anthracene, benzo(e)pyrene et le benzo(a)pyrene.
Propionaldehyde 123-38-6
Supelco 2-0257 Orbo 23 tube
2186 Orbo 23 120/60 mg
0,1 10 GC-MS 0,04
IRSST
323-1
Before and after sampling, tubes must be stored in a freezer.
Eleven aldehydes are determined simultaneously: acetaldehyde,
isobutyraldehyde, isovaleraldehyde, propionaldehyde, butyraldehyde, furfural,
heptanal, hexanal, valeraldehyde, acrolein and formaldehyde. This method must
not be used for the specific evaluation of formaldehyde; the methods to be used
in this case are 295-1 and 357-1.

CANMET The reference value for respirable combustible dust (RCD) according to the
Regulation respecting occupational health and safety in mines is 0.6 mg/m³ (8-
hour time-weigted average).

Sevoflurane must be specifically sampled due to the sampling device used and a
specific desorption solvent.
However, simultaneous sampling and analysis of desflurane is possible. A
permissible exposure value (of the TWA type) of 80 mg/m³ has been proposed by
the Swedish National Board of Occupational Safety and Health.

Spore counts and identification. The MRV is 13 spores/m³ for a sampling volume
of 150 litres.
