PROPERTIES: Table 1

SYNONYMS: (1) 2-aminoethanol; monoethanolamine; MEA (2) 2,2'-iminodiethanol; diethanolamine; DEA (3) 2,2',2"- nitrilotriethanol; triethanolamine; TEA SAMPLING SAMPLER:

IMPINGER (15 mL 2 mM hexanesulfonic acid)

MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUE:

ION CHROMATOGRAPHY, ion pairing [2,3]

FLOW RATE: 0.5 to 1 L/min

ANALYTE:

MEA, DEA, TEA

VOL-MIN: -MAX:

5L 300 L

INJECTION LOOP VOLUME:

50 µL

SHIPMENT:

routine

SAMPLE STABILITY:

2 mM hexanesulfonic acid (HSA), 1 mL/min (2 mM HSA/0.5% v/v acetonitrile may also be used to reduce run time)

stable at least 3 weeks @ 20 C [1] COLUMNS:

BLANKS:

2 to 10 field blanks per set

Ion-pairing guard and cation separator, Dionex MPIC-NG1,MPIC-NS1, and cation suppressor

CONDUCTIVITY SETTING:

3 µS full scale

ACCURACY RANGE: RANGE STUDIED: see EVALUATION OF METHOD [1] and Table 2 BIAS:

ESTIMATED LOD: 7 to 20 µg per sample (Table 2) PRECISION (Sr):

see EVALUATION OF METHOD [1] and Table 2

APPLICABILITY: The working ranges for MEA, DEA, and TEA are 0.08 to 12 ppm (0.2 to 30 mg/m 3), 0.09 to 7 ppm (0.4 to 30 mg/m 3) and 0.1 to 5 ppm (0.6 to 30 mg/m 3), respectively, for a 100-L air sample. The method is better suited to area sampling than personal sampling because it uses an impinger for sample collection.

INTERFERENCES: Larger amines such as cocomorpholine, triethylenediamine, 4-ethylmorpholine, 2-oxybis(N,N-dimethyl)ethylamine, n-cetyl- N,N-dimethylamine do not elute under these analytical conditions and do not interfere. Other low molecular weight amines may interfere. Sodium and ammonium ions can interfere with MEA.

OTHER METHODS: This is adapted from the method of Bouyoucos and Melcher [2,3]. There are no other NIOSH methods for DEA or TEA. MEA can be determined by method 2007, using silica gel collection and gas chromatographic analysis.
