Method 1602

Dioxane


This method is used for the collection and analysis of dioxane.  The sample is collected on a charcoal tube.  After collection, the sample is desorbed with carbon disulfide and analyzed using GC/FID (flame ionization detector). 

The working range of the method is 5.5 to 190 ppm (20 to 700 mg/ m³) for a 10 L air sample.

NOTE: This method combines and replaces Method S360s and P&CAM 127 for dioxane.
