Summary of Practice4.1 This practice describes procedures for determining VOC emission profiles of a bedding set using an environmen
19、tal chamber.4.2 These procedures includeThis practice includes procedures for selection and handling of samples, and conducting chamberemission tests (Research Triangle Institute, 1995)tests. . Details related to storage and transportation of samples are included inselection and handling. Procedures
20、 for conducting chamber tests include selection of test conditions and methods for collection andanalysis of air samples.4.3 The practice also describes procedures for estimating emission profiles from the chamber concentration data.5. Significance and Use5.1 The objective of this practice is to pro
21、vide procedures for estimating emission profiles of VOCs from bedding sets. Theseprofiles can then be used to estimate human inhalation exposures to VOCs emitted from bedding sets. The estimated inhalationexposures ultimately can be used as an input to characterization of health risks from shortterm
22、 VOC exposures.5.2 The results of emissions testing for specific raw materials and components, or processes used in manufacturing differentbedding sets, can be used to compare their relative impacts on airborne concentrations.6. Facilities and Equipment6.1 A facility to determine product or material
23、 emissions from bedding sets requires use of a roomsize environmental testchamber, typically larger than 22.6 m3. Emissions from components of bedding sets can be characterized in small chambersranging in size from a few liters to 5 m3. Chamber testing also requires associated equipment such as a cl
24、eanair generation system,monitoring and control systems, and sample collection and analysis equipment (see Practice D6670, Guide D5116, and TestMethod E1333).7. Procedures for Sample Selection and Handling7.1 The procedures for sample selection and handling include sample selection, packaging for sh
25、ipping, and shipment andstorage.7.2 Select bedding sets to be tested directly from the production line. Volume of production can be considered as a criterion inselecting the type(s) of bedding set to be tested. Use a random number table to avoid biases in selection.7.3 The selected bedding set(s) sh
26、ould be wrapped using the manufacturers normal packaging materials and procedures.Further, to protect from damage during shipping, place the bedding sets in corrugated shipping containers.7.4 Upon receipt at the testing laboratory, remove the bedding from corrugated shipping containers, but do not r
27、emove themanufacturers normal packaging materials. Inspect for shipping damage and record the arrival condition. To isolate the beddingsets from the surrounding laboratory environment, place each bedding set wrapped in its normal packaging (manufacturersshipping bag) in a larger outer bag, which has
28、 an inert surface.7.5 Maintain a chain of custody record to note dates, times, and operations performed (such as storage and transportation) foreach bedding set.8. Procedures for Emissions Testing8.1 Volatile organic emissions from indoor sources such as bedding sets vary widely in the number of che
29、micals and the strengthof their emissions. To characterize emissions fully, the sample collection and analysis system must be capable of quantitativecollection and analysis of volatile, polar, and nonpolar compounds. The design and operation of sample collection and analysissystems must be appropria
30、te for the organic chemicals and their concentrations. Such systems include collection of samples usingcanister sampling methodology (Test Method D5466) or, more often, collection on solid adsorbent tubes (for example, PracticeD6196), and instruments to analyze organic emissions (for example, gas ch
31、romatographs, see Practice E355). Determination ofD6177 142formaldehyde and other aldehydes can be done by are performed using different methods (EPA Compendium, 1990).3,4 One ofthese methods (Test Method D5197), which collects air samples on 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (DNPH)treated silica gelcartri
32、dges followed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), is preferred because of better sensitivity.8.2 The remainder of this section describes certain air sampling procedures related to emissions testing of bedding sets andbriefly summarizes analytical methods. Technical details on selection
33、 of appropriate collection media and analytical methods, andon sampling and analytical equipment and associated procedures, are provided in the references cited in 8.1.8.3 Screening Samples:8.3.1 The purpose of the screening samples is to identify volatile organic chemicals and their relative concen
34、trations, to aid inselecting sampling durations, collection media, and laboratory analysis methods for conducting emissions testing.8.3.2 Collect air samples from the manufacturers shipping bags using sampling lines connected directly to sampling devices.8.4 Background Samples:8.4.1 The following ty
35、pes of background samples are necessary:(1) background concentrations in the outer storage bag and the laboratory atmosphere, and(1) Background concentrations in the outer storage bag and the laboratory atmosphere, and(2) Background concentrations in the chamber prior to insertion of a bedding set f
36、or chamber testing.(2) background concentrations in the chamber prior to insertion of a bedding set for chamber testing.8.4.2 The background concentrations in the outer storage bag and the laboratory atmosphere are used to assess whether thereis contamination from the laboratory environment.8.4.3 A
37、chamber background sample is taken to quantify any contributions of organic compounds from the clean air system orthe empty chamber. Ideally, measured concentrations for such a sample should be at or below minimum detection limits. If not,the chamber background concentration can be used for correcti
38、ng the chamber concentrations measured when a bedding set isplaced in the chamber, as specified in 8.6.8.5 Chamber Conditions and Sampling Locations:8.5.1 The chamber air should be well mixed: a mixing fan should be used as necessary. The chamber temperature, humidity,and air change rate should be c
39、arefully controlled.At least one test should be done at the base conditions recommended as follows:8.5.1.1 the base condition for temperature is 23 6 0.5C,8.5.1.2 the base condition for humidity is 50 6 5 %, and8.5.1.3 the base condition for the air change rate is 1.0 6 0.1 h1. The air change rate c
40、an be reduced to 0.5 6 0.05 h1, butin that case the use of a mixing fan is especially recommended.8.5.2 In addition to the base chamber conditions, it may be useful to conduct the chamber testing at an elevated temperature(for example, near the human body temperature) to determine the effect of elev
41、ated temperature on emissions.8.5.3 A preferred location for collection of air samples is the outlet air stream from the chamber. Alternatively, multiplesampling locations within the chamber may be used.All sampling lines shall be made of inert materials, and the length of samplinglines should be mi
42、nimized to limit deposition of VOCs.8.6 Bedding Set Samples:8.6.1 Immediately prior to testing, remove the bedding set from the outer bag and the manufacturers packing bags and placethe bedding set in the center of the chamber. Place the box spring on a stainless steel mattress frame, and the mattre
43、ss over thebox spring.8.6.2 Collect a minimum of four samples for VOC and aldehyde analysis at 4, 8, 16, and 24 h after placing the bedding set inthe chamber. Although previous testing indicates that the peak concentration occurs around 4 h after the bedding set is placed inthe chamber (Research Tri
44、angle Institute, 1995),4 there may be some uncertainties in this early sample.8.7 Analysis of Samples:8.7.1 Analysis of volatile organic chemicalsVolatile organic chemicals collected on solid adsorbent tubes are thermallydesorbed (EPA Compendium, 1990)3,5 and separated by gas chromatography (GC) and
45、 measured by a mass spectrometric (MS)detector. For the samples collected in canisters, VOCs are concentrated by collection in a suitable cryogenically cooled oradsorbent trap, revolatilized by heating the trap and then determined by GCMS (see Test Method D5466). Identification ofunknown sample cons
46、tituents is conducted using electronic searches of mass spectral databases.8.7.2 Analysis of aldehydesDNPH/aldehyde derivatives on silica gel cartridges are extracted by eluting with acetonitrile andanalyzed by HPLC, using an ultraviolet absorption detector (see Test Method D5197).8.8 Quality Assura
