Method 1012

Difluorodibromomethane by GC/FID


This method is for the determination of difluorodibromomethane. The sample is collected on charcoal sorbent tubes, desorbed in 1.0 mLof 2-propanol and allowed to stand overnight. The sample is then analyzed using GC/FID. The working range is 200 to 2000 mg/m³(23 to 230 ppm) for a 10 L air sample. Difluorodibromomethane is used in the synthesis of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and quaternary ammonium compounds, and as a fire extinguishing agent. Note: This is Method S107 in a revised format.
