Significance an
20、d 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 Diisocyanates and polyisocyanates are irritants to skin,eyes, and mucous membranes. They are recognized to c
21、auserespiratory allergic sensitization, asthmatic bronchitis, andacute respiratory intoxication (6-9).5.4 The American Conference of Governmental IndustrialHygienists (ACGIH) has adopted a Threshold Limit Value-Time Weighted Average (TLVTWA) of 0.036 mg/m3witha Short-Term Exposure Limit (STEL) of 0.
22、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 and 0.005 ppm (V) or 0.036 mg/m3as atime-weighted average (11).5.5 Monitoring of respiratory and oth
23、er 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 compatiblewith the duration of many industrial processes and its lowquantification limit also suits th
24、e 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 both physical states to beobtained, thus helping in the selection of ventilation systemsand personal pr
25、otection.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 reagentimpregnated on the GFF can affect the sampling efficiency.This includes strong oxidizing agents.6.
26、2 Any compound that has the same retention time as theTDIU derivative and gives the same UV/fluorescence detectorresponse factor ratio can cause interference. Chromatographicconditions can be changed to eliminate an interference.6.3 A field blank double-filter sampling system is used tocheck contami
27、nation during the combined sampling, transpor-tation, and sample storage process. A laboratory blank is usedto check contamination occurring during the analytical process.7.
