ASTM D 4861 Document Information:
Title
Standard Practice for Sampling and Selection of Analytical Techniques for Pesticides and Polychlorinated Biphenyls in Air
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Mar 1, 2005
Scope:
This practice covers the sampling of air for a variety of common
pesticides and polychlorinated
biphenyls (PCBs) and provides guidance on the selection of appropriate
analytical measurement
methods. Other compounds such as polychlorinated
dibenzodioxins/furans, polybrominated biphenyls,
polybrominated diphenyl ethers, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and
polychlorinated naphthalenes
may be efficiently collected from air by this practice, but guidance
on their analytical
determination is not covered by this practice.
A complete listing of pesticides and other semivolatile organic
chemicals for which this practice
has been tested is shown in Table 1.
This practice is based on the collection of chemicals from air onto
polyurethane foam (PUF) or a
combination of PUF and granular sorbent.
This practice is applicable to multicomponent atmospheres, 0.001 to
50-µg/m³
concentrations, and 4 to 24-h sampling periods. The limit of detection
will depend on the nature of
the analyte and the length of the sampling period.
The analytical method(s) recommended will depend on the specific
chemical(s) sought, the
concentration level, and the degree of specificity required.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns,
if any, associated with its
use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to
establish appropriate safety and
health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use. For
specific hazards statements, see 10.24 and A1.1.
