Monitoring personnel exposure to vinyl chloride, vinylidene chloride and methyl chloride in an industrial work environment

Abstract

Pittsburgh PCB 12 times 30 activated carbon is found to be the most suitable of the commerically available carbons tested for personnel sampling of vinyl chloride, vinylidene chloride, and methyl chloride. The carbon is desorbed with CS2 at dry ice temperature or with a thermal desorption technique.
