APPLICABILITY: The working range is 0.16 to 3 ppm (0.5 to 10 mg/m) for a 100-L air sample. The method is applicable to
short-term samples taken at 1 L/min. The upper limit of loading depends on the concentrations of allyl chloride and other
substances in the air, including water vapor.
INTERFERENCES: None identified.
OTHER METHODS: This is Method S116 in a revised format [2].
REAGENTS:
EQUIPMENT:
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS: Benzene is a suspected human carcinogen. All work should be performed in
a hood.
SAMPLING:
1. Calibrate each personal sampling pump with a representative sampler in line.
2. Break the ends of the sampler immediately before sampling. Attach sampler to personal sampling
pump with flexible tubing.
3. Sample at an accurately known flow rate between 0.01 and 1 L/min for a total sample size of 16 to
100 L.
4. Cap the samplers with plastic (not rubber) caps and pack securely for shipment.
SAMPLE PREPARATION:
5. Place the front and back sorbent sections of the sampler tube in separate vials. Discard the glass
wool and foam plugs.
6. Add 1.0 mL benzene to each vial. Attach crimp cap to each vial.
7. Allow to stand 30 min with occasional agitation.
CALIBRATION AND QUALITY CONTROL:
8. Calibrate daily with at least six working standards over the range 0.01 to 1.5 mg allyl chloride per
sample.
a. Add known amounts of calibration stock solution to benzene in 10-mL volumetric flasks and
dilute to the mark.
b. Analyze together with samples and blanks (steps 11 and 12).
c. Prepare calibration graph (peak area vs. mg allyl chloride).
9. Determine desorption efficiency (DE) at least once for each batch of charcoal used for sampling in
the calibration range (step 8). Prepare three tubes at each of five levels plus three media blanks.
a. Remove and discard back sorbent section of a media blank sampler.
b. Inject a known amount of calibration stock solution directly onto front sorbent section with a
microliter syringe.
