Measurement of ethylene oxide with other air toxics from fugitive and area sources
Application Note 176
Complying with US EPA Method 327
This application note covers the analysis of ethylene oxide as part of an air toxics study in compliance with US EPA Method 327.
The note outlines the steps for evaluating method performance and testing system capability, with an emphasis on eliminating the use of liquid cryogen during the analysis.
When sampling 500 mL, a method detection limit of 10 ppt was achieved, with a signal-to-noise ratio of 10:1 for the ethylene oxide peak.
