Method 1457

Ethyl Acetate


This method is used for the collection and analysis of ethyl acetate.  The sample is collected on a coconut shell charcoal tube.  After collection, the sample is desorbed with 1mL of carbon disulfide and analyzed by GC/FID (flame ionization detector). 

The working range of the method is 0.07 to 790 ppm (0.25 to 2800 mg/m 3) for a 6L air sample

NOTE: This method revises Method S49.
