Abstract
A spectrophotometric method was developed for the determination of dim ethyl disulfide (DMDS) in complex gas mixtures emitted by the rubber i ndustry. The method allows organic disulfides to be quantitated in amo unts exceeding 1.5 mg/m(3) gas (expressed as DMDS) and can be applied to the determination of disulfides in air at workplace as well as in g aseous products of thermal and biological decomposition of solid subst ances. The method enables disulfides and mercaptans to be determined s imultaneously.
