In the PSA D40 5535 standard developed by the Peugeot automobile company, the method of analysis of formaldehyde and other carbonyl compounds of the materials in the vehicle passenger compartment is explained by liquid chromatography.
This standard describes an analysis method for the determination of formaldehyde and other carbonyl compounds (aldehydes and ketones) in ambient air using a coated-solid adsorbent followed by high performance liquid chromatographic detection. Formaldehyde is an important supporting compound in the photochemical ozone formation. Especially short-term exposure to formaldehyde and other specific aldehydes is known to cause irritation to the eyes, skin and mucous membranes of the upper respiratory tract.
Various methods have been developed in recent years for sampling and analysis of formaldehyde and other carbonyl compounds. Because of the role formaldehyde plays in photochemistry, many of the newer methods are designed to specifically measure formaldehyde.
In this regard, the following standards developed by the International Standards Organization (ISO) are also taken as basis:
These standards specify the determination of formaldehyde and other carbonyl compounds (aldehydes and ketones) in ambient air. This method is formaldehyde specific.
Carbonyls (aldehydes and ketones) are recognized by scientific and regulatory bodies as toxic air pollutants, mutagens and carcinogens. Vehicle emissions are the main source of outdoor carbonyl emissions, and research is ongoing into the nature and magnitude of carbonyl emissions from motor vehicles. Formaldehyde is the main compound most commonly found in exhaust gases from both hot and cold engines.
Our organization also provides analysis services of formaldehyde and other carbonyl compounds within the scope of PSA D40 5535 standard, with its trained and expert staff and advanced technological equipment, among the numerous test, measurement, analysis and evaluation studies it provides for businesses in various sectors.
