[Determination of glycidyl methacrylate in the air of workplace captured adsorbent tube by gas chromatography].

Objective: To develop a new solid sorbent tube for capturing glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) in workplace air, and establish a complete set of method. Methods: GMA in workplace air was captured by the new solid sorbent tube filled with carbon aerogel adsorbent, desorbed with solution of 50% ( V / V ) dimethylformamide-carbon disulfide, separated through capillary chromatographic column, and then analyzed by gas chromatography-flame ionization detector. Results: The linear range of GMA was 0.38 - 604.80 mg/L, and the related coefficient was 0.999 82. The within-run and the between-run precision were 1.11% - 2.80% and 2.53% - 4.84% respectively. The average desorption efficiency was 93.20%-94.97%. The minimum quantification concentration and The minimum quantification concentration were 0.02 and 0.07 mg/m(3) respectively (3.00 L sample) . Samples could be stored for at least 8 days at room temperature. Conclusion: The newly developed solid sorbent tube and its complete set of gas chromatography method is simple, and has high sensitivity and precision, so it can be used for sampling and quantitative detection of GMA in workplace air.
