17、electron capture detector (ECD), nitrogen-phosphorus detector(NPD), flame photometric detector (FPD), Hall electrolytic conductivity detector (HECD), or a mass spectrometer (MS). For somepesticides, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with an ultraviolet (UV) detector or electroche

18、mical detectormay be preferable.4.3 Interferences resulting from analytes having similar RTs during GC are resolved by improving the resolution or separation,such as by changing the chromatographic column or operating parameters, or by fractionating the sample by columnchromatography.5. Significance

19、 and Use5.1 This practice is recommended for use primarily for non-occupational exposure monitoring in domiciles, public accessbuildings, and offices.5.2 The methods described in this practice have been successfully applied to measurement of pesticides and PCBs in outdoorair and for personal respira

20、tory exposure monitoring.5.3 Abroad spectrum of pesticides are commonly used in and around the house and for insect control in public and commercialbuildings. Other semivolatile organic chemicals, such as PCBs, are also often present in indoor air, particularly in large officebuildings. This practic

21、e promotes needed precision and bias in the determination of many of these airborne chemicals.6. Interferences6.1 Any gas or liquid chromatographic separation of complex mixtures of organic chemicals is subject to serious interferenceproblems due to coelution of two or more compounds. The use of cap

22、illary or microbore columns with superior resolution or twocolumns of different polarity will frequently eliminate these problems.6.1.1 Selectivity may be further enhanced by use of a MS in a selected ion monitoring (SIM) mode as the GC detector. In thismode, coeluting compounds can often be determi

23、ned.6.2 The ECD responds to a wide variety of organic compounds. It is likely that such compounds will be encountered asinterferences during GC-ECD analysis. The NPD, FPD, and HECD detectors are element specific, but are still subject tointerferences. UV detectors for HPLC are nearly universal and t

24、he electrochemical detector may also respond to a variety ofchemicals. Mass spectrometric analyses will generally provide for positive identification of specific compounds.6.3 PCBs and certain organochlorine pesticides (for example, chlordane) are complex mixtures of individual compounds, whichcan c

25、ause difficulty in accurately quantifying a particular formulation in a multiple component mixture. PCBs may also interferewith the determination of pesticides.6.4 Contamination of glassware and sampling apparatus with traces of pesticides or PCBs can be a major source of error,particularly at lower

26、 analyte concentrations. Careful attention to cleaning and handling procedures is required in all steps of thesampling and analysis to minimize this source of error.6.5 General approaches that can be followed to minimize interferences are as follows:6.5.1 Polar compounds, including certain pesticide

27、s (for example, organophosphorus and carbamate classes) can be removed bycolumn chromatography on alumina. This sample cleanup will permit the analysis of most organochlorine pesticides and PCBs (2).6.5.2 PCBs may be separated from organochlorine pesticides by column chromatography on silicic acid.

28、See Refs (3) and (4).6.5.3 Many pesticides can be fractionated into groups by column chromatography on Florisil-PRFlorisil8(4).7.

However, most pesticides and PCBs exist in air under steady-state conditions, primarily as vapors(6). Most particulate-associated pesticides or PCBs, if any,

35、will also tend to be vaporized from filters after collection (7). Collocatedsampling with and without a quartz-fiber pre-filter has yielded indistinguishable results for a broad spectrum of pesticides andPCBs found in indoor air (8).7.1.5.1 An open-face filter may be attached to the sampling cartrid

Follow with a 16-h Soxhlet extractionwith 5 % diethyl ether in n-hexane. When cartridges are reused, 5 % ether in n-hexane can be used as the cleanup solvent.8.2 Place the extracted PUF plugs in a vacuum oven connected to a water aspirator and dry at room temperature for 2 to 4 h(until no solvent odor is detected). Alternatively, they may be dried at room temperature in an air-tight container
