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.
