Abstract

A method for the determination of dicumyl peroxide in workplace air was developed and applied. Micro-impinger bottles and personal air sampling pumps were used for the sampling. Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry was used for the analytical separation and quantitative determination. The technique makes it possible to monitor peroxide concentrations down to 5 micro g/m(3) in air.
