Method 2

Ethylene Dibromide by GC/ECD


This method is for the determination of ethylene dibromide. The sample is collected on charcoal adsorbent, desorbed with xylene, and analyzed by gas chromatography using an electron capture detector. Samples should be refrigerated and analyzed as soon as received.
