Determination of organonitrogen compounds in air using liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry — Part 2: Amines and aminoisocyanates using dibutylamine and ethyl chloroformate derivatives

ISO 17734-2:2006 gives general guidance for the sampling and analysis of airborne amines and aminoisocyanates in workplace air. The method can be used for simultaneous determinations of amines, 4,4'-methylenediphenyldiamine (4,4'-MDA), 2,4- and 2,6-toluenediamine (2,4-, 2,6-TDA) and 1,6-hexamethylenediamine (1,6-HDA), and compounds containing both isocyanate and amine groups, 4,4'-methylenediphenyl aminoisocyanate (4,4'-MAI), 2,4-, 4,2- and 2,6-toluene aminoisocyanate (2,4, 4,2, 2,6-TAI), 1,6-hexamethylene aminoisocyanate (1,6-HAI). The method is suitable for collecting amines and aminoisocyanates in both the gas and particle phases.
