Respiratory Effects. Pleural effusions and alveolar infiltrations were noted in a man who had washed his hair with an unknown amount of diesel fuel (Barrientos et al. 1977). The relative contributions from inhalation and dermal exposure could not be distinguished in this case. There was no throat irritation in six volunteers following a 15-minute exposure to a concentration reported to be 140 mg/m of deodorized kerosene vapor (Carpenter et al. 1976). The authors used a hot nichrome wire for the volatilization of their test material and reported that the concentration was probably the "highest attainable concentration at which vapor analysis is representative of liquid analysis." The air saturating concentration of kerosene is considered to approximate 100 mg/m (room temperature and 760 mmHg) and is dependent on the constituents of the mixture. 

For fixed value of the vaporization constant, regardless of droplet size, a graph presented by Probert (98) shows fraction vaporized as a function of n, x, X, and t. When X is not constant with change of droplet size, this graph does not apply. Nevertheless, its significance in development of vaporization analysis techniques has been great.

Standard Test Methods on the other hand, specify procedures for carrying out measurements. In the case of emissions testing, methods are usually broken down into multiple separate sections covering sampling frequency, sample collection and preparation, emissions testing and vapor analysis (see below.) Test methods may also include lists of target compounds or compounds that are commonly...

With current computer technology there are several commercial programs available (as well as personal and private) that perform tray-to-tray stepwise calculations up or dowm a column, using the latest vapor pressure, K-val-ues, and heat data for the components. This then provides 2m accurate analysis at each tray (liquid and vapor analysis) and also the heat duty of the bottoms reboiler and overhead total or parti2il condenser. 

More typical applications of mass spectrometry, such as GC/FTMS, direct insertion probe sampling and gas/vapor analysis have also been demonstrated as routine using this instrument.

Of the new topics, the application of quantitative vapor analysis has been chosen for inclusion, largely because measurements in this phase are encountered rather infrequently in the spectroscopy of carbohydrates and the measurement of mutarotation, because it serves as a good illustration of the practical technique of aqueous solution measurements and because it may stimulate new interest in studies in this environment.

A number of methods can be employed to monitor remedial progress, including the use of monitoring wells, groundwater analysis, and effluent vapor analysis. Selected case studies are summarized in Table 14.1 and in this section to provide information on expected contaminant removal using air sparging systems. 

To date, direct UV absorption sensing has been used mainly in environmental applications to monitor pollutants in the atmosphere such as ozone and NO (Wu et al. 2006), hydrocarbons, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) (Lin et al. 2004). Fiber optic UV systems for gas and vapor analysis have been reviewed by Eckhardt et al. (2007). The strong absorbance of vapors and gases in the UV region is advantageous and has resulted in a compact detection system of good accuracy.
