Critical review of methods for sampling, analysis, and monitoring of vapor-phase toluene diisocyanate.

چکیده
This article is a critical review of some of the methods that have been used for the sampling, analysis, and monitoring of vapor-phase toluene diisocyanate (TDI). Only some of the methods that have received relatively widespread application have been addressed in this article. This review includes a "tutorial style" discussion of basic definitions and basic principles and procedures of quality control and metrology for sampling, analysis, and monitoring. One critical issue that is addressed: Are there methods and monitoring instruments available that are capable of sampling and analyzing or monitoring TDI vapor with sufficient speed and sensitivity to satisfy the requirements of the current ACGIH threshold limit values (TLVs) for TDI vapor?

Measurement of 2,4-toluene diisocyanate concentrations by different samplers.
The standard sampling methods for toluene diisocyanate (TDI) only collect total TDI without separating the aerosol and gas phases. There are few other samplers, such as the dual filter, triple filter and annular denuder systems (ADS), which are able to sample the aerosol and gas phases simultaneously. This field study was conducted at two workplaces to access the total 2,4-TDI and the gaseous a...
متن کاملElimination kinetics of diisocyanates after specific inhalative challenges in humans: mass spectrometry analysis, as a basis for biomonitoring strategies
BACKGROUND Isocyanates are some of the leading occupational causes of respiratory disorders, predominantly asthma. Adequate exposure monitoring may recognize risk factors and help to prevent the onset or aggravation of these aliments. Though, the biomonitoring appears to be most suitable for exposure assessment, the sampling time is critical, however. In order to settle the optimal time point f...

متن کاملFrequency and trends of occupational asthma due to toluene diisocyanate: a critical review.
In recent years, occupational asthma has become the most frequent occupational lung disease in many countries. Reports and statements on the frequency of occupational asthma due to isocyanates are quite contradictory. In order to clarify the issue, a critical review of the medical literature of the past half century worldwide has been performed, with special emphasis on toluene diisocyanate (TD...
