Method for Monitoring Exposure to Gasoline Vapor in Air

摘要

Exposures to vapor can occur during the manufacture, storage, distribution and use of motor gasoline. Some components such as benzene are known to have potential toxic effects; sampling and analysis methods for measuring exposures to benzene are well established and have been previously described by CONCAWE (reference - CONCAWE Report No. 2/81, Exposure to Atmospheric Benzene Vapour Associated with Motor Gasoline). Following suggestions that excessive exposure to other components may cause other adverse health effects, CONCAWE's Health Management Group concluded that there was a need to be able to quantify typical exposure levels to all significant compounds in gasoline vapor. The report describes a suitable validated method, based on procedures initially developed within some CONCAWE participating companies. (Copyright (c) CONCAWE Den Haag November 1986.)
