This analytical method is a validated measurement procedure for the determination of 2‑methylaniline, 3‑methylaniline, 4‑methylaniline, 1‑naphthylamine, 2‑naphthylamine, 2‑aminobiphenyl, 3‑aminobiphenyl and 4‑aminobiphenyl in workplace air averaged over the sampling period after personal or stationary sampling. Sampling is performed by drawing a defined volume of air through two acid impregnated quartz fibre filters using a suitable flow-regulated pump. The flow rate is set to 1 l/min with a recommended air sample volume of 120 l. The collected aromatic amine is desorbed, transferred to an aqueous template, extracted in an alkaline medium with toluene and derivatized with heptafluorobutyric anhydride. The aromatic amine is then analysed by means of gaschromatography and a mass selective detector (MSD). The quantitative evaluation is based on a calibration function obtained by means of a multiple-point calibration using 1‑aminofluorene as internal standard. The limit of quantification (LOQ) for each amine deposited on the filters is between 0.001 μg/m3 and 0.008 μg/m³ based on an air sample volume of 120 l, 2 ml desorption solution and an injection volume of 0.5 μl. The mean recovery for all tested amines was between 87 and 95% and the expanded uncertainty between 22 and 33%. This method has been tested and recommended for the determination of aromatic amines in workplaces by the German Social Accident Insurance.
