Quinone
LCS Laboratory provides industry-leading air sampling and laboratory analysis for 1,4-Benzoquinone (Quinone). Our service includes air sampling pumps, high-quality adsorbent tubes, and precise laboratory analysis tailored to Canadian regulatory standards.
Technical Overview of Quinone Exposure Testing
Quinone, despite being solid at room temperature, exhibits a high saturated vapour pressure of approximately 100 ppm. This concentration exceeds occupational exposure limits, making reliable testing critical. According to NIOSH Method S181, Quinone should be collected as a vapour on XAD-2 adsorbent tubes for accurate analysis.
Sampling recommendations include a flow rate of 0.05-0.2 L/min with a total sample volume of 24 litres. Our laboratory ensures exceptional sensitivity, delivering results with a detection limit of 1 µg/sample or better.
Why Accurate Quinone Testing Matters
Quinone is commonly used in various industrial processes, including chemical manufacturing, polymer production, and dye synthesis. Its vapour can pose significant health risks to workers, including respiratory and skin irritation. Ensuring compliance with occupational exposure limits is essential for maintaining workplace safety and adhering to Canadian occupational health regulations.
