11、ardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right
12、to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International St
13、andards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an I
14、nternational Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

15、38-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 146, Air quality, Subcommittee SC 2, Workplace atmospheres. ISO 21438 consists of the following parts, under the general title Workplace atmospheres Determination of inorganic acids by ion chromatography: Part 1: Non-volatile acids (sulfuric acid and p
16、hosphoric acid) The following parts are under preparation: Part 2: Volatile acids, except hydrofluoric acid (hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid and nitric acid) Part 3: Hydrofluoric acid and particulate fluorides BS ISO 21438-1:2007vIntroduction The health of workers in many industries is at risk t
17、hrough exposure by inhalation of particulate acids like sulfuric acid or phosphoric acid compounds. Industrial hygienists and other public health professionals need to determine the effectiveness of measures taken to control workers exposure, and this is generally achieved by making workplace air me
18、asurements. This part of ISO 21438 has been published in order to make available a method for making valid exposure measurements for particulate acids in use in industry. It will be of benefit to: agencies concerned with health and safety at work; industrial hygienists and other public health profes
19、sionals; analytical laboratories; and industrial users of sulfuric and phosphoric acids, and their workers. It has been assumed in the drafting of ISO 21438 (all parts) that the execution of its provisions and the interpretation of the results obtained are entrusted to appropriately qualified and ex
20、perienced people. BS ISO 21438-1:2007blank1Workplace atmospheres Determination of inorganic acids by ion chromatography Part 1: Non-volatile acids (sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid) 1 Scope This part of ISO 21438 specifies a method for the determination of the time-weighted average mass concentrati
21、on of sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid in workplace air by ion chromatography. The method is applicable to the personal sampling of the inhalable fraction of airborne particles, as defined in ISO 7708 and to static (area) sampling. The analytical method is applicable to the determination of masses
22、of 0,005 mg to 2,0 mg of sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid per sample, without dilution. The concentration range of sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid in air for which the measuring procedure is applicable is determined by the sampling method selected by the user. For an air sample of volume 1 m3, th
23、e working range is approximately 0,005 mg m3to 2,0 mg m3. The method is not applicable to the determination of sulfur trioxide. The procedure does not allow differentiation between the acids and their corresponding salts if both are present in the air. The procedure does not allow differentiation be
24、tween phosphoric acid and diphosphorus pentoxide (phosphoric anhydride) if both are present in the workplace. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
