Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1NOTEAdded research report information to Section 13 editorially in September 2010.1. Scope1.1 This te
3、st method covers a procedure for the determina-tion of formaldehyde (HCHO) and other carbonyl compounds(aldehydes and ketones) in air. Other carbonyl compounds thathave been validated for determination by this method includeacetaldehyde, acetone, propanal (propionaldehyde), methac-rolein, 2-butanone
4、 (methyl ethyl ketone), butyraldehyde, ben-zaldehyde, isovaleraldehyde, valeraldehyde, o-tolualdehyde,m-tolualdehyde, p-tolualdehyde, hexanal, and 2,5-dimethylbenzaldehyde. Acrolein and crotonaldehyde can notbe determined quantitatively using the analytical proceduredescribed in 10.2 due to the form
5、ation of multiple derivativepeaks and the instability of the peak ratios2, 3. However, theprocedure described in theAnnexAhas been used by the U. S.Environmental Protection Agency to estimate acrolein andcrotonaldehyde concentrations in standard atmospheres fol-lowing special precautions.1.2 This te
6、st method involves drawing air through a car-tridge containing silica gel coated with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (DNPH) reagent. Carbonyl compoundsreadily form stable derivatives with the DNPH reagent. TheDNPH derivatives are analyzed for parent aldehydes andketones utilizing high performance liquid
7、 chromatography(HPLC). The sampling procedure is a modification of U.S.EPA Method TO-11A (see 2.2).1.3 This test method is based on the specific reaction ofcarbonyl compounds with DNPH in the presence of an acid toform stable derivatives according to the reaction shown in Fig.1, (where: both R and R
8、1are alkyl or aromatic groups(ketones), or both, or either R or R1is a hydrogen atom(aldehydes). The determination of formaldehyde and othercarbonyl compounds, as DNPH derivatives, is similar to that ofU.S. EPA Method TO-11A in that it utilizes HPLC with UVdetection as the analytical finish. The det
9、ection limits havebeen extended to other carbonyl compounds that can bedetermined as outlined in Section 10.2.4. This test method issuitable for determination of formaldehyde and other carbonylcompounds in the concentration range from approximately 10ppb to 1 ppm (v/v).1.4 The sampling method gives
10、a time-weighted average(TWA) sample. It can be used for long-term (1 to 24 h) orshort-term (5 to 60 min) sampling of air for formaldehyde.1.5 This test method instructs the user on how to preparesampling cartridges from commercially available chromato-graphic grade silica gel cartridges4by the appli
11、cation ofacidified DNPH to each cartridge.1.6 The sampling flow rate, as described in this test method,has been validated for sampling rates up to 1.5 L/min. Thisflow rate limitation is principally due to the high pressure drop(8 kPa at 1.0 L/min) across the user prepared silica gelcartridges which
12、have a particle size of 55 to 105 m. Thesecartridges are not generally compatible with battery-poweredpumps used in personal sampling equipment (for example,those used by industrial hygienists.1.7 Alternatively, pre-coated DNPH silica gel cartridges arealso commercially available and may be substitu
13、ted providedthey can be demonstrated to perform equivalently.5Some ofthese use silica gel of a larger particle size that results in alower pressure drop across the cartridge. These low pressuredrop cartridges may be more suitable for sampling air usingbattery-powered personal sampling pumps.1.8 The
14、values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D22 on AirQuality and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D22.05 on Indoor Air.Current edition approved Nov. 1, 2009.

Summary of Test Method4.1 A known volume of indoor air is drawn through aprepacked silica gel cartridge coated with acidified DNPH, at asampling rate of 0.5 to 1.2 L/min for an appropriate period oftime. Both sampling rate a
26、nd time are dependent upon carbonylconcentrations in the test atmosphere.4.2 After sampling, the sample cartridges are individuallycapped and placed in individual bottles or other sealablecontainers. Sample identifying tags or labels are attached andthe individual sample containers are then placed i
27、n a friction-top can or other suitable sealable secondary container with apouch of charcoal for transport to the laboratory for analysis.The cartridges are placed in cold storage until analysis.Alternatively, the cartridges may be desorbed, diluted to aknown volume, and refrigerated until analysis.N
28、OTE 1A heat-sealable foil-lined plastic pouch of the type includedwith some commercial pre-coated DNPH cartridges may be used forstoring a DNPH-coated cartridge after sampling, if appropriate.4.3 The DNPH-carbonyl derivatives are determined using agradient HPLC system, equipped with a C-18 reverse p
29、hasecolumn and an ultraviolet (UV) absorption detector operated at360 nm.4.4 A blank cartridge is likewise desorbed and analyzed inaccordance with 4.3.4.5 Formaldehyde and other carbonyl compounds in thesample are identified and quantified by comparison of theirretention times and peak heights or pe
30、ak areas of theircorresponding DNPH derivatives with those of standard solu-tions.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method provides an analytical procedure formeasuring formaldehyde and other carbonyl compounds inindoor or outdoor air.6. Interferences6.1 The solid sorbent sampling procedure is sp
31、ecific forsampling and analysis of carbonyl compounds. Interferences inthis test method are certain isomeric aldehydes or ketones thatmay be unresolved by the HPLC system or coelute with DNPHderivatives of other aldehydes and ketones in the sample.Organic compounds that have the same retention time
32、andsignificant absorbance at 360 nm as the DNPH derivatives ofsome carbonyl compounds will interfere. Such interferencescan often be overcome by altering the separation conditions(for example, using alternative HPLC columns or mobile phasecompositions).6For referenced ASTM standards, visit the ASTM

Department of Commerce, NationalTechnical Information Service, 5285 Port Royal Rd., Springfield, VA 22161.FIG. 1 Reaction of Carbonyl CompoundsD5197 09126.2 Formaldehyde contamination of the DNPH reagent is afrequently encountered problem. The DNPH must be purifiedby multiple recrystallizations i
35、n UV-grade acetonitrile. Recrys-tallization is accomplished, at 40 to 60C, by slow evaporationof the solvent to maximize crystal size. The purified DNPHcrystals are stored under UV-grade acetonitrile until use.Impurity levels of carbonyl compounds in the DNPH aredetermined prior to use by HPLC and s
36、hould be less than 0.15g per cartridge.6.3 Exposure of the DNPH-coated sampling cartridges todirect sunlight may produce artifacts and should be avoided.86.4 Ozone at high concentrations (120 ppb and above) hasbeen shown to interfere negatively by reacting with both theDNPH and its carbonyl derivati
37、ves (hydrazones) in the car-tridge.9The extent of interference depends on the temporalvariations of both the ozone and the carbonyl compounds andthe duration of sampling. Significant (45 %) negative inter-ference from ozone was observed even at concentrations offormaldehyde and ozone typical of clea
38、n ambient air (2 and 40ppbv, respectively) when air was sampled for three hours at 1L/min. It is highly recommended that ozone be removed bymeans of the devices described in 6.4.2 and 6.4.4 before thesample reaches the cartridge.106.4.1 The presence of ozone in the sample stream is readilyinferred f
39、rom the appearance of new compounds with retentiontimes shorter than that of the hydrazone of formaldehyde. Fig.2 shows chromatograms of samples of a formaldehyde-spikedair stream with and without ozone.6.4.2 The most direct solution to the ozone interference is toremove the ozone before the sample
40、stream reaches thecartridge. This process entails constructing an ozone denuderor scrubber and placing it in front of the cartridge. The denuderis constructed of1mof0.64-cm outside diameter by 0.46-cminside diameter copper tubing, that is filled with a saturatedsolution of KI in water, allowed to st
41、and for a few minutes(;5), drained and dried with a stream of clean air or nitrogenfor about 1 h. The capacity of the ozone denuder as describedis about 100 ppm(v)-hour of ozone.6.4.3 Test aldehydes (formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, propi-onaldehyde, benzaldehyde, and p-tolualdehyde) that were dy-namical
42、ly spiked into an ambient sample air stream passedthrough the denuder with practically no losses.6.4.4 Ozone scrubbers (cartridge filled with granular potas-sium iodide) are also commercially available from suppliers ofpre-coated DNPH cartridges.7. Apparatus7.1 Sampling System, capable of accurately
43、 and preciselysampling 0.1 to 1.50 L/min.NOTE 2An example of a sampling system for ambient air consistingof a heated manifold/sample inlet, a denuder/cartridge assembly, a flowmeter, a vacuum gage/pump, a timer and a power supply is shown in Fig.3. In operation, ambient air is drawn through the denu
44、der/cartridgeassembly with a vacuum pump at a fixed flow rate between 0.1 to 2 Lpm.NOTE 3Apressure drop through the user-prepared sample cartridge ofabout 19 kPa at a sampling rate of 1.5 L/min has been observed. Somecommercially available pre-coated cartridges may exhibit lower pressuredrops, which
45、 will permit the use of battery-operated personal samplingpumps.7.2 HPLC System, consisting of two or more mobile phasereservoirs; a single or a dual high-pressure pump systemequipped with a mobile phase gradient programmer, an injec-tion valve (automatic sampler with a 25-Lor other convenientloop v
