Significance and Use5.1 TDI is used mostly in the preparation of rigid andsemi-rigid foams and adhesives.5.2 Isocyanate use has been growing for the last 20 yearsand the industrial need is still growing.5.3 Diisocy

21、anates and polyisocyanates are irritants to skin,eyes, and mucous membranes. They are recognized to causerespiratory allergic sensitization, asthmatic bronchitis, andacute respiratory intoxication (6-9).5.4 The American Conference of Governmental IndustrialHygienists (ACGIH) has adopted a Threshold

22、Limit Valu-eTime Weighted Average (TLVTWA) of 0.036 mg/m3witha Short-Term Exposure Limit (STEL) of 0.14 mg/m3for2,4-TDI (10). The Occupational Safety and Health Adminis-tration of the U.S. Department of Labor (OSHA) has apermissible exposure limit of 0.02 ppm(V) or 0.14 mg/m3ofTDI as a ceiling limit

23、 and 0.005 ppm (V) or 0.036 mg/m3as atime-weighted average (11).5.5 Monitoring of respiratory and other problems related todiisocyanates and polyisocyanates is aided through the utiliza-tion of this test method, due to its sensitivity and low volumerequirements (15 L). Its short sampling times are c

24、ompatiblewith the duration of many industrial processes and its lowquantification limit also suits the concentrations often found inthe working area.5.6 The segregating sampling device pertaining to thisproposed test method physically separates gas and aerosolallowing isocyanate concentrations in bo

25、th physical states to beobtained, thus helping in the selection of ventilation systemsand personal protection.5.7 This test method is used to measure gaseous concentra-tions of 2,4- and 2,6-TDI in air for workplace and ambientatmospheres.6. Interference6.1 Any substance that can react with MAMA reag
