3、 updated throughout in March 2017.1. Scope1.1 These test methods pertain to the sampling/analysis ofrespirable suspended particles (RSP) and the estimation of theRSP fraction attributable to environmental tobacco smoke(ETS). These test methods are based on collection of total RSPon a membrane filter

4、, extracting the collected material inmethanol, and measuring total ultraviolet absorbance orfluorescence, or both, of this extract. The correspondingmethods of estimation are termed ultraviolet particulate matter(UVPM) and fluorescent particulate matter (FPM), respec-tively.1.2 These test methods a

5、re compatible with, but do notrequire the determination of solanesol, which is also used toestimate the contribution of ETS to RSP (see Test MethodD6271).1.3 The sampling components consist of a preweighed,1.0-m pore size polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membranefilter in a filter cassette connected o

6、n the inlet end to a particlesize separating device and, on the outlet end, to a samplingpump. These test methods are applicable to personal and areasampling.1.4 These test methods are limited in sample duration onlyby the capacity of the membrane filter (about 2000 g). Thesetest methods have been e

7、valuated up to a 24-h sample durationwith a minimum sample duration of at least 1 h.1.5 Limits of detection (LOD) and quantitation (LOQ) forthe UVPM test method at a sampling rate of 2 L/min are,respectively, 2.5 g/m3and 8.3 g/m3for a 1-h sample durationand 0.3 g/m3and 1.0 g/m3for an 8-h sample dura

8、tion. TheLOD and LOQ for the FPM test method at a sampling rate of2 L/min are, respectively, 1.4 g/m3and 4.7 g/m3for a 1-hsample duration and 0.2 g/m3and 0.6 g/m3for an 8-h sampleduration.1.6 UnitsThe values stated in SI units are to be regardedas standard. No other units of measurement are included

20、ample tothat of a surrogate standard.4. Summary of Test Methods4.1 A known volume of air is drawn through an inertialimpactor or cyclone assembly separating at 4.0 m to separateRSP from total suspended particulate matter and then througha filter assembly. The respirable suspended particulate matter

21、iscollected on a PTFE membrane filter contained within the filterassembly.4.2 The weight of RSP is determined as the differencebetween the filter weight before and after collection. Theconcentration of RSP (g/m3) is calculated from the RSPweight and volume of air sampled.4.3 The filter is extracted

22、with methanol in a 4-mL glassvial.4.4 An aliquot of the extract is injected into a columnlesshigh performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) systemequipped with an ultraviolet detector (325 nm) and a fluores-cence detector (300-nm excitation; 420-nm emission) con-nected in series. (Alternatively, abso

23、rbance and fluorescencemay be measured with bench-top spectrophotometers.)4.5 The area of the resulting UV peak is compared to areasobtained from the injection of standard solutions of THBP (asurrogate standard for ETS-PM). The area of the resultingfluorescence peak is compared to areas obtained fro

24、m theinjection of standard solutions of scopoletin (a surrogatestandard for ETS-PM). The results, which are estimates of thecontribution of ETS-PM to RSP, are reported as UVPM andFPM, respectively.5. Significance and Use5.1 Environmental tobacco smoke consists of both vapor-and particle-phase compon

25、ents. Due to the nature of vapor andparticulate phases, they rarely correlate well, and an accurateassessment of ETS levels in indoor air requires determininggood tracers of both phases. Among the attributes of an idealETS tracer, one critical characteristic is that the tracer should“remain in a fai

26、rly consistent ratio to the individual contami-nant of interest or category of contaminants of interest (forexample, suspended particulates) under a range of environmen-tal conditions.” (2). The UVPM and FPM fulfill thisrequirement, staying in a constant ratio to RSP from tobaccosmoke under a variet

27、y of ventilation conditions and samplingdurations. Solanesol (a C45isoprenoid alcohol specific totobacco), determined in accordance with Test Method D6271,is an ETS tracer or marker that also meets this requirement. Incontrast, nicotine (a component of the ETS vapor phase) doesnot remain in a consis

28、tent ratio to ETS-PM (3).5.2 To be able to quantify the contribution of ETS to RSP isimportant because RSP is not specific to tobacco smoke. TheRSP are a necessary indicator of overall air quality; theOccupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) haspreviously set a PEL (permissible exposure

29、level) for respi-rable dust in the workplace of 5000 g/m3. However, the RSPemanate from numerous sources (4) and have been shown to bean inappropriate tracer of ETS (5-13). In the test methodsdescribed herein, UVPM and FPM are used as more selectivemarkers to estimate more accurately the contributio

30、n of ETS toRSP (5-7, 9-18). Of the available ETS particulate phasemarkers (UVPM, FPM, and solanesol), all are currently usedand relied upon in investigations of indoor air quality, althoughUVPM and FPM can overestimate the contribution of tobaccosmoke to RSP due to potential interference from nontob

31、accocombustion sources. Solanesol, because it is tobacco-specificand ETS particle phase-specific, may be the best indicator ofthe ETS particulate phase contribution to RSP (9-13, 19-21).Refer to Test Method D6271 for the protocol on determiningsolanesol.6. Interferences6.1 Because the measured spect

32、ral properties are not uniqueto ETS-PM, these test methods will always be a conservativemeasure of (that is, they overestimate) the contribution of ETSto indoor RSP. Combustion sources are known to add signifi-cantly to the UVPM measure (19); FPM is considered to beless prone to, but not free from,

33、interferences. Due to thepotential presence of unquantifiable interferences, these testmethods provide only an indication of, and not the absolutelevel of, the contribution of ETS to indoor RSP.7.
