IODINE: METHOD 6005, Issue 2, dated 15 August 1994 - Page 4 of 4 15-L air samples with a pooled sampling and measurement precision, Sr, of 0.062. The capacity of the 100-mg charcoal front section was at least 6 mg of iodine vapor. The total variance, SˆrT, including pump error, was 0.085. Overall average recovery based on 18 samples, six at each of three levels, was 90.8%. When corrected for desorption efficiency (0.962 in the range 0.0088 to 0.03 mg I 2 per sample), the recovery was 94.3%, representing an insignificant bias. Samples stored at ambient temperature for eight days were stable with recovery of 101.6% and a precision, S r, of 0.103 based on samples analyzed on day one.
