Sets out a spectrophotometric method for the determination of nitrogen dioxide in indoor air using a passive sampling treated filter technique. This method is applicable to indoor air in which the expected nitrogen dioxide concentration is within the range 0 to 3 ppm (V/V) (0 to 6000 µg/m(sup)3(/sup)) for an exposure time of 1 h, and has a detection limit of 0.35 ppm for a 2 h sampling period.
