Standard Test Method for Determination of 2,4-Toluene Diisocyanate (2,4-TDI) and 2,6-Toluene Diisocyanate (2,6-TDI) in Workplace Atmospheres (1-2 PP Method)
在工作环境中测定2,4-二甲苯二异氰酸酯(2,4-TDI)和2,6-甲苯二异氰酸酯(2,6-TDI)的标准测试方法(1-2PP方法)
1.1
本试验方法描述了从工作场所大气中采集的空气样品中2,4-甲苯二异氰酸酯(2,4-TDI)和2,6-甲苯二异氰酸酯(2,6-TDI)的测定,样品盒中含有浸渍有1-(2-吡啶基)哌嗪(1-2 PP)的玻璃纤维过滤器。该程序对测定大气中的蒸汽含量有效。建议对含有气溶胶的大气进行现场提取,以避免低估的可能性。
1.2
本试验方法使用配备荧光或紫外线检测器的高效液相色谱仪(HPLC)

也可以使用超高效液相色谱仪(UPLC),前提是其性能等同于本标准中的规定。
1.3
如文所述,测试方法的验证范围为1。
4至5.6μg 2,4-TDI和2,6-TDI,相当于基于20升空气样品的2,4-TDI和2,6-TDI的约9.8至39 ppb。使用紫外线检测器的高效液相色谱法能够在4.0毫升溶剂体积中检测0.078μg 2,4-TDI和0.068μg 2,6-TDI,相当于基于20升空气样品的2,4-TDI的0.55 ppb和2,6-TDI的0.48 ppb。
1.4
2,4-TDI和2,6-TDI的异构体可以使用反相柱进行HPLC法分离。由于工业应用使用2,4-和2,6-TDI的异构混合物,因此实现这种分离的能力很重要。

1.1
This test method describes the determination of 2,4-toluene diisocyanate (2,4-TDI) and 2,6-toluene diisocyanate (2,6-TDI) in air samples collected from workplace atmospheres in a cassette containing a glass-fiber filter impregnated with 1-(2-pyridyl)piperazine (1-2 PP). This procedure is effective for determining the vapor content of atmospheres. It is advisable to perform a field extraction for atmospheres containing aerosols to avoid the possibility of an underestimation.
1.2
This test method uses a high-performance liquid chromatograph (HPLC) equipped with a fluorescence or an ultraviolet (UV) detector

An ultra high performance liquid chromatograph (UPLC) can also be used, provided that its performance is equivalent to what is stated in this standard.
1.3
The validated range of the test method, as written, is from 1.4 to 5.6 μg of 2,4-TDI and 2,6-TDI which is equivalent to approximately 9.8 to 39 ppb for 2,4-TDI and 2,6-TDI based on a 20-L air sample. The HPLC method using an UV detector is capable of detecting 0.078 μg of 2,4-TDI and 0.068 μg of 2,6-TDI in a 4.0-mL solvent volume, which is equivalent to 0.55 ppb for 2,4-TDI and 0.48 ppb for 2,6-TDI based on a 20-L air sample.
1.4
The isomers of 2,4-TDI and 2,6-TDI can be separated utilizing a reversed phase column for the HPLC method. Because industrial applications employ an isomeric mixture of 2,4- and 2,6-TDI, the ability to achieve this separation is important.
1.5
The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
1.6
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

. It has been estimated that the production of TDI will steadily increase during the future years.
5.2
Diisocyanates are irritants to eyes, skin, and mucous membrane and are respiratory sensitizers. Chronic exposure to low concentrations of diisocyanates produces an allergic sensitization which may progress into asthmatic bronchitis
