This standard specifies the method for determining the concentration of formaldehyde in the atmosphere of residential areas by spectrophotometry. It is also suitable for the determination of formaldehyde concentration in the air of public places. The measurement range of this standard is 0.2-3.2μg formaldehyde pollutant in 2mL sample solution. If the sampling flow rate is 1L/min and the sampling volume is 20L, then the measured concentration range is 0.01-0.16mg/m3. Acetaldehyde, propionaldehyde, n-butyraldehyde, acrolein, crotonaldehyde, glyoxal, benzaldehyde, methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, n-butanol, sec-butanol, isobutanol, isoamyl alcohol , Ethyl acetate has no effect on this method; nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide coexisting in the atmosphere have no interference on the determination.
