Abstract
A field validation of a diffusive sampler for the assessment of person al exposure to sawing fumes from pine has been performed. The sampling rate for the main constituents in these fumes, the monoterpenes alpha -pinene, beta-pinene and Delta(3)-carene, is determined to 8.6, 8.6 an d 8.3 mi min(-1), respectively. Carbon disulfide is a suitable solvent for desorption from the charcoal, which is the sorbent used. Analysis of the compounds should be performed within one week after air sampli ng.
