This method is for the collection and analysis of chloropicrin from workplace air. The sample is collected on two XAD-4 tubes connected in series. After collection, the sample is desorbed with ethyl acetate and analyzed by GC/ECD (electron capture detector).
NOTE: This is a partially validated method.
