This method is a screening method for the collection and analysis of methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) from manufacturing process emissions. Method 207 or other approved method must be used for compliance projects.
The sample is collected at a sub-isokinetic rate on a 13mm glass fiber filter coated with 1 mg of 1-(20methoxyphenyl)piperazine (1,2-MP) or 1-(2-pyridyl)piperazine (1,2-PP). The sampling train consists of a glass nozzle with a 90 degree bend, filter cassette and a personal sampling pump. After collection, the filter is placed into a amber glass VOA vial. The nozzle is rinsed with 2mL of acetonitrile/DMSO and the rinse is added to the VOA vial. The sample is shipped to the lab for analysis by HPLC/UV following OSHA 47.
