This method is for the collection and analysis of maleic anhydride. The sample is collected in 15mL of distilled water using a midget impinger sampling train. Air is bubbled through the sample train and trapped in the distilled water. The water from the impinger is collected and analyzed by HPLC with UV detection. Maleic anhydride is converted to maleic acid so any native maleic acid in the sample will result in a positive bias.
The working range of the method is 0.025 to 0.75 ppm (0.1 to 3 mg/m³) for a 360L air sample.
NOTE: This method revises Method P&CAM 302.
