| Abstract |
The development of reference materials to serve for quality control and performance evaluation of measurements of sulfur dioxide by the pararosaniline method is described. Powder samples consisting of sodium sulfite dispersed in mannitol can be prepared to evaluate measurements for the concentration levels of ambient interest. The samples are sufficiently stable in routine use, with a service life of at least three months. By the use of a series of five samples of graded sulfite content, measurement errors greater than five percent are significantly detected. A detailed procedure for preparation of the samples is included. Preliminary studies of an alternate method for preparation of quality control samples, by a freeze-drying process are also described. |
