Scope1.1 This test method describes the automatic separation andcollection on chemically treated paper tapes of particulate andgaseous forms of acidic fluorides in the atmosphere by meansof a double paper tape sampler. The sampler may be pro-grammed to collect

A 30.5-m(100-ft) tape will allow unattended operation for the automaticcollection of up to 600 samples.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard.

Significance and Use5.1 This test method provides a means of automaticallyseparating and collecting atmospheric particulate and acidicgaseous fluoride s

18、amples.5.2 Since the samples are collected on dry tapes, thesamples are in a form which allows elution of the fluoridecontent with a small volume of eluent. Consequently, themethod allows analyses of air samples taken for a time periodas short as several minutes.6. Interferences6.1 Particulate metal

19、lic salts, such as those of aluminum,iron, calcium, magnesium or rare-earth elements, may reactwith and remove some or all of the acidic gaseous fluoride onthe prefilter. If interfering quantities of such particulate metal-lic salts are present, the use of Test Method D3268 isrecommended because the

20、 acidic fluoride gases are collectedprior to the filter.6.2 Acid aerosols or gases might neutralize or acidify thealkali-treated tape and prevent quantitative uptake of the acidicfluoride gases from the atmosphere. If this potential interfer-ence is present the decreased alkalinity of the water extr

21、act(13.2.2.1) may provide relevant information.6.3 Aluminum or certain other metals or phosphates caninterfere with subsequent analyses of the tapes by photometricor electrometric methods. These potential interferences arediscussed in Test Methods D3269 and D3270.6.4 There are several limitations of

22、 the test method thatcould possibly occur:6.4.1 Although the acid-treated medium retentive prefilterhas been shown to allow passage of hydrofluoric acid, it willrestrict passage of particulate matter only as small as about 1m. Thus, smaller particulate matter may pass through the filterand impinge o

23、n or pass through the alkali-treated second tape.6.4.2 The maximum sampling time recommended in themethod is 3 h. This time is limited to minimize the possibleeffect of particulate matter sorbing the acidic fluoride gases orreducing the sampling rate.7. Apparatus77.1 The double paper tape sampler is
