- Abstract
- A new analytical method was developed for the determination of formaldehyde in ambient air based on
the use of a modified configuration of the Analyst? passive sampler. It consists of a polyethylene cylinder
filled with appropriate reactive adsorbent and a special anti-turbulence net which works as an ozone
scrubber.
The performance of a diffusive sampler depends critically on the selection and use of a suitable
adsorbent and on environmental factors, such as temperature, humidity and the interference of oxidant
species. In this study two adsorbent types were investigated: 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (2,4-DNPH)
coated silica gel and Florisil? particles. Interference of ozone was removed by using a silver net upstream
as an anti-turbulence device. The performance of this net was then compared with that of stainless steel.
Furthermore, the aim of the work was the optimization of the adsorbent type and the study of the
interference of ozone with particular attention placed on the effect of relative humidity and temperature.
A dynamic system for generating a known concentration of the test gas (formaldehyde) in an
appropriate exposure chamber was used to evaluate the performance of the passive sampler and to allow
the calibration of the methodology. Inter-comparisons with a reference method, active sampling using
2,4-DNPH-silica gel coated cartridges, were also carried out. Results were in accordance with each other.
Tests were planned using a statistical method based on Design of Experiment methodology. The
operating conditions were chosen in order to obtain the best configuration of the passive device by
evaluating the statistical significance of the different factors and their interactions by analysis of variance.
Results showed that the best configuration was achieved using 2,4-DNPH Florisil? coated particles as
an adsorbent and a silver anti-turbulence net as an ozone scrubber.
With the aim of achieving further results in realistic conditions, some field experiments were also
carried out. (literal)
