Method: -
Sampling device:
Parameters:
Flow rate: -
TWA sampling volume: -
STEL sampling volume: -

Remarks: OSHA method ID211 is for the simultaneous determination of sodium azide (NaN3) and hydrazoic acid (HN3) since sodium azide is converted into hydrazoic acid when in contact with moisture. Individual results for HN3 vapor and NaN3 particle are not provided, only the sum of the two. The result is expressed as Sodium azide. See Sodium azide (as Sodium azide) for more information.
