ASTM D5932-2008(2013) 使用9-N-甲氨基甲基葸 (MAMA) 方法测定工作场所空气中2,4-甲苯聚氨酯 (2,4-TDI) 和2,6-甲苯聚氨酯 (2,6-TDI) 含量的标准试验方法

       5.1 x00a0;TDI is used mostly in the preparation of rigid and semi-rigid foams and adhesives.

       5.2 x00a0;Isocyanate use has been growing for the last 20 years and the industrial need is still growing.

       5.3 x00a0;Diisocyanates and polyisocyanates are irritants to skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. They are recognized to cause respiratory allergic sensitization, asthmatic bronchitis, and acute respiratory intoxication (6-9).

       5.4 x00a0;The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) has adopted a Threshold Limit Valuex2013;Time Weighted Average (TLVx2014;TWA) of 0.036 mg/m3 with a Short-Term Exposure Limit (STEL) of 0.14 mg/m3 for 2,4-TDI (10). The Occupational Safety and Health Administration of the U.S. Department of Labor (OSHA) has a permissible exposure limit of 0.02 ppm(V) or 0.14 mg/m3 of TDI as a ceiling limit and 0.005 ppm (V) or 0.036 mg/m3 as a time-weighted average (11).

      5.5 x00a0;Monitoring of respiratory and other problems related to diisocyanates and polyisocyanates is aided through the utilization of this test method, due to its sensitivity and low volume requirements (15 L). Its short sampling times are compatible with the duration of many industrial processes and its low quantification limit also suits the concentrations often found in the working area.

      5.6 x00a0;The segregating sampling device pertaining to this proposed test method physically separates gas and aerosol allowing isocyanate concentrations in both physical states to be obtained, thus helping in the selection of ventilation systems and personal protection.

      5.7 x00a0;This test method is used to measure gaseous concentrations of 2,4- and 2,6-TDI in air for workplace and ambient atmospheres.

      1.1 x00a0;This test method covers the determination of gaseous 2,4-toluene diisocyanate (2,4-TDI) and 2,6-toluene diisocyanate (2,6-TDI) in air samples collected from workplace and ambient atmospheres.

      1.2 x00a0;Differential air sampling is performed with a segregating device.2,3 The gaseous fraction is collected on a glass fiber filter (GFF) impregnated with 9-(N-methylaminomethyl) anthracene (MAMA).
