title: A charcoal sampling method and a colorimetric analytical procedure for carbon disulfide. Measurement data from a viscose rayon manufacturing plant.
abstract: A charcoal sampling method and a colorimetric analytical method for carbon disulfide were developed. The methods were validated at relevant concentration of CS2. Precision and accuracy were acceptable (23%-6% and 36%-1%) at 25-400 micrograms CS2 deposited on the solid sorbent. The methods were calibrated with charcoal tube sampling and GC-FPD analysis. Regression analysis was performed on duplicate samples and a correlation coefficient of 0.96 and a regression coefficient of 0.8 were obtained. Occupational hygiene measurements were performed in a rayon manufacturing plant. A great proportion of TWA concentrations exceeded the swedish TLV (16 mg/m3) at all sample sites.
