3、overs a procedure for the determina-tion of formaldehyde(HCHO)and other carbonyl compounds(aldehydes and ketones)in air.Other carbonyl compounds thathave been validated for determination by this method includeacetaldehyde,acetone,propanal(propionaldehyde),methacrolein,2-butanone(methylethylketone),b
4、utyraldehyde,benzaldehyde,isovaleraldehyde,valeraldehyde,o-tolualdehyde,m-tolualdehyde,p-tolualdehyde,hexanal,and 2,5-dimethylbenzaldehyde.Acro-lein and crotonaldehyde can not be determined quantitativelyusing the analytical procedure described in 10.2 due to theformation of multiple derivative peak
5、s and the instability of thepeak ratios2,3.However,the procedure described in the AnnexA has been used by the U.S.Environmental Protection Agencyto estimate acrolein and crotonaldehyde concentrations instandard atmospheres following special precautions.1.2 This test method involves drawing air throu

7、s a modification of U.S.EPA Method TO-11A(see 2.2).1.3 This test method is based on the specific reaction ofcarbonyl compounds with DNPH in the presence of an acid toform stable derivatives according to the reaction shown in Fig.1,(where:both R and R1are alkyl or aromatic groups(ketones),or both,or
8、either R or R1is a hydrogen atom(aldehydes).The determination of formaldehyde and othercarbonyl compounds,as DNPH derivatives,is similar to that ofU.S.EPA Method TO-11A in that it utilizes HPLC with UVdetection as the analytical finish.The detection limits havebeen extended to other carbonyl compoun
