2-Methyl-4,6-dinitrophenol. Determination in workplace air
Journal Title: Podstawy i Metody Oceny Środowiska Pracy - Year 2016, Vol 32, Issue 1
Abstract
2-Methyl-4,6-dinitrophenol (DNOC) is a yellow crystalline solid. It has insecticidal, fungicidal and herbicidal properties. Nowadays, DNOC is used as a polymerization inhibitor and as an intermediate in the chemical industry. It is extremely toxic to humans.The aim of this study was to develop a new method for determining DNOC concentrations in workplace air in the range from 1/10 to 2 MAC values in accordance with the requirements of Standard No. EN 482.The study was performed using a liquid chromatograph (Agilent Technologies series 1200) with a diode array detector (DAD). Thedetermination was performed in the reversephase system (mobile phase: methanol: solution of acetic acid) using an Ultra C18 column (250 × 4.6 mm with dp = 5 μm).The method was based on passing air through a silica gel tube. Samples were desorbed with methanol and analyzed with HPLC-DAD. The procedure was validated according to StandardNo. EN 482. The measuring range was 0.005 ÷0,1 mg/m[sup]3[/sup], the limit of detection (LOD) was 1.55 ng/ml, the limit of quantifi cation (LOQ) was 4.66 ng/ml, the overall accuracy of the method was 5.24% and the relative total uncertainty of themethod was 11.5%.The analytical method described in this paper makes it possible to selectively determine DNOC in workplace air in the presence of phenols and cresols at concentrations from 0.005 mg/m³ (1/10MAC value). The method is precise, accurate and it meets the criteria for proce-dures for measuring chemical agents listed in Standard No. EN 482.The developed method of determining DNOC has been recorded as an analytical procedure (see appendix).
