Simple time weighted average level air-monitoring method for sulfur mustard in work places.
A simple air-monitoring method was developed and validated for vesicant sulfur mustard (HD) in the work place at time weighted average levels. XAD-2 adsorbent was used for the collection of HD vapours for 8 h followed by liquid desorption with carbon tetrachloride. The trace level analysis was carried out by gas chromatography-photoionization detection and was confirmed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometric detection in the selected ion mode.
