Measurement of ethylene oxide with other air toxics from fugitive and area sources (US EPA Method 327)
Author(s)Markes International, Ltd.
This application note outlines an analytical approach that meets the stringent requirements of EPA Method 327 for monitoring ethylene oxide and other hazardous air pollutants. The key innovation is the ability to achieve the required sensitivity without the need for liquid cryogen cooling, enabling more cost-effective and productive monitoring. Highlights include a 10 ppt method detection limit for ethylene oxide, effective management of sampling bias and chromatographic interferences, and straightforward method transfer between laboratories. The flexible, cryogen-free preconcentration system enables large-volume sampling to boost sensitivity while simplifying operation, making it an attractive solution for implementing the new EPA method.
