APPLICABILITY: The working range of this method is 0.01 to 0.2 mg/m3 as tin in a 1000 L air sample.
INTEREFERENCES: Other organotin compounds with the same retention time as triphenyl tin chloride would interfere.
OTHER METHODS: There are no other NIOSH methods specifically for triphenyl tin chloride. Other organotin compounds have been determined by NIOSH Method 5504 [2] which uses the analytical technique of HPLC-atomic absorption spectroscopy.
