Method for determination of plasticizers in industrial emissions

Summary A simple method has been developed for the determination of dibutyl phthalate, di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, diisodecyl phthalate, and di(2-ethylhexyl) adipate in industrial emissions. A cartridge packed with a modified silica gel is used as adsorbent and adsorbed compounds are eluted and analyzed by HPLC in normal and reversed phase system.Presented at the 2nd Conference on Solid Phase Extraction, Bratislava, Soovakian Republic, November 16–18, 1992.
