Abstract A method is described for the collection and analysis of airborne propoxur (2 -(1 -Methylethoxy)phenol methylcarbamate). The sam-pling device consists of a glass absorption tube, 6.35 cm X 7.94 mm (i.d.), packed with 10% Carbowax® 400 supported on 80/100 mesh Supelcoport. The propoxur was desorbed with methanol and analyzed by liquid chromatography. Recoveries of >87% were obtained from control samples evaluated at 0.5 and 1.0 mg. The coefficient of variation for the method, including an assumed pump error of ± 5%, was 0.054. The limit of detection of the analytical method was one ng per sample. The method may be suitable for personal monitoring. Copyright 1985, American Industrial Hygiene Association
