Abstract
The report describes and evaluates the sodium arsenite manual procedure for measurement of NO2 in ambient air. The evaluation included ruggedness testing, as described by Youden. The method involves sampling for 24 hours with a restricted-orifice bubbler immersed in a NaAsO2-NaOH collecting solution. The range of the method is approximately 20 to 750 micrograms/cum . The method was insensitive to normal variations in orifice bubbler diameter, temperature of the absorbing solution during sampling, and concentration of arsenite. However, the ruggedness test identified NO and CO2 as positive and negative interferents, respectively; sample flow rate may also be a variable affecting the method response.
