RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: To establish a method for simultaneous determination of 12 kinds of chlorobenzene compound(CBs) in workplace air using portable gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(GC-MS) technique. METHODS: The GDH-3 air sampling tube was developed independently, and were used to collect the 12 kinds of CBs in the vapor state and aerosol state in the air. After elution with toluene solvent, portable GC-MS method was used for detection. Fast chromatographic column was used for separation, and then qualitatively analyzed with retention time and characteristics of the ions, and quantitative analyzed by standard curves. RESULTS: The quantitative determination ranges of the 12 kinds of CBs were 0.20-200.00 mg/L. All the correlative coefficients were greater than 0.998 3. All the minimum quantitative concentration was 0.01 mg/m~3, and all the minimum quantitative mass concentration was 0.04 mg/m~(3 )(15 L sample). The average elution efficiency was 88.97%-116.86%. The within-run and the between-run relative standard deviation was 10.15%-13.48% and 12.87%-19.66%, respectively. All the sampling efficiencies were>90.00%. CONCLUSION: The portable GC-MS technique could be used for rapid qualitative and quantitative detection of 12 kinds of CBs in workplace air.
