Description
The analysis of the levels of hazardous substances in the air inhaled by workers in the chemical industry and similar working environments is necessary to monitor adherence to statutory concentration limits and to protect the workers from the adverse effects of such substances. The analytical methods used for this purpose have to meet exceptionally high standards of reliability and reproducibility.
For many years now, the Analytical Chemistry Group of the Commission for the Investigation of Health Hazards of Chemical Compounds in the Work Area has been involved in the establishment of new methods and the standardization of old ones for sampling and analysis of workplace air. A selection from the results of their efforts has now been translated into English and is presented in the first volume of this series. Considerable emphasis is placed on sample collection methods and on analytical quality control: reproducibility and reliability have been determined by the author of every method and checked by at least one examiner.

Part 1 Preliminary remarks: introduction; theoretical principles of the diffusive sampling - diffusive sampler, basic principles of the diffusion, influence on the diffusive sampling by ambient parameters. Part 2 Valuation of analysis methods and analysis results: definitions; functional quality indexes - accuracy of an analysis method, sensitivity of an analysis method, selectivity and specificity of method; statistical quality index - accuracy of the method, supply of the statistical data, the uncertainty of the statistical deviation at a few number of measured values, repeatability and reproducibility of analysis results (ISO 5725), detection limit and determination limits of analysis methods, confidence interval for mean values, propagation for standard; securing of differences - examination of analysis results, examination of standard deviations.
