“ Average recoveries were 92 to 94% (16 samples) in the range 477 to 2025 mg/m 3 for 3.4-L samples. Breakthrough volume of 18.5 L (effluent = 5% of test concentration) occurred after sampling for 99 min at 0.187 L/min from an atmosphere containing 2266 mg/m 3 trichloroethylene in dry air. ”

“ Carbon disulfide is toxic and a serious fire and explosion hazard (flash point = -30 °C) . Trichloroethylene is a suspect carcinogen and a narcotic [6,7,8] . Work with these substances only in a hood. SAMPLING: 1. 2. 3. 4. Calibrate each personal sampling pump with a representative sampler in line. Break the ends of the sampler immediately before sampling. Attach sampler to personal sampling pump with flexible tubing. Sample at an accurately known flow rate between 0.01 and 0.2 L/min for a total sample size of 1 to 30 L. Cap the samplers. Pack securely for shipment. ”

“ Calibrate daily with at least six working standards. a. Add known amounts of TCE to CS 2 in 10-mL volumetric flasks and dilute to the mark. Use serial dilutions as needed to obtain TCE concentrations in the range 0.01 to 10 mg/mL. b. ”
