Polyurethane foam (PUF) passive samplers for monitoring phenanthrene in stormwater.
Pollution from highway stormwater runoff has been an increasing area of concern. Many structural Best Management Practices (BMPs) have been implemented for stormwater treatment and management. One challenge for these BMPs is to sample stormwater and monitor BMP performance. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of using polyurethane foam (PUF) passive samplers (PSs) f...
متن کاملEvaluation of a passive air sampler for measuring indoor formaldehyde.
A passive air sampler, using 4-amino-3-hydrazino-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole, was evaluated for the determination of formaldehyde in indoor environments. Chromatography paper cleaned using a 3% hydrogen peroxide solution was experimentally determined as being the optimum absorption filter for the collection of formaldehyde (0.05 microg cm(-2) formaldehyde). From a linear-regression analysis betwe...
متن کاملOutdoor passive air monitoring of semi volatile organic compounds (SVOCs): a critical evaluation of performance and limitations of polyurethane foam (PUF) disks.
The most commonly used passive air sampler (PAS) (i.e. polyurethane foam (PUF) disk) is cheap, versatile, and capable of accumulating compounds present both in gas and particle phases. Its performance for particle associated compounds is however disputable. In this study, twelve sets of triplicate PUF-PAS were deployed outdoors for exposure periods of 1-12 weeks together with continuously opera...
متن کاملPorous Polyurethane Foam for Use as a Particle Collection Substrate in a Nanoparticle Respiratory Deposition Sampler.
Porous polyurethane foam was evaluated to replace the eight nylon meshes used as a substrate to collect nanoparticles in the Nanoparticle Respiratory Deposition (NRD) sampler. Cylindrical (25-mm diameter by 40-mm deep) foam with 110 pores per inch was housed in a 25-mm-diameter conductive polypropylene cassette cowl compatible with the NRD sampler. Pristine foam and nylon meshes were evaluated ...
متن کاملCharacterization of Renewable PUF and Preparation of Polyurethane Foam Composites with Alkali Lignin/Renewable PUF
The renewable PUF was prepared by the alcoholysis of the used polyurethane foam composite and the polyurethane foam composite was also prepared by alkali lignin and renewable PUF. The renewable PUF was examined by GC-MS, the results showed the renewable PUF mainly consists of glycol, propanol and 1, 2-Benzenedicarboxylic acid, which can directly be used as the raw material of polyurethane foam ...
