Method 1454

Isopropyl Acetate


This method is used for the collection and analysis of isopropyl acetate.  The sample is collected on a coconut shell charcoal tube.  After collection, the sample is desorbed in 1mL of carbon disulfide and analyzed using GC/FID (flame ionization detector).

The working range of the method is 1.5 to 450 ppm (6 to 1870 mg/m³) for an 8 L air sample.

NOTE: This is NIOSH Method S50 in a revised format.
