This method is for the analysis of volative HAPs (hazardous air pollutants) in paints and coatings. The method applies only to the volatile HAPs which are added to the coating when it is manufactured not to those compounds which may form as the coating cures.
The sample is collected in a manner to prevent or minimize the loss of volatile components.
The coating is added to dimethylformamide and analyzed by GC/FID (flame ionization detector).
