+L. Scope
L.1 This test method? covers the manual determination of
niteo ide (NO,) in the atmosphere inthe range from 4
fo 5 ppm(v)) when sampling. is
‘conducted in fritted-tip bubblers.
1.2 For concentrations of NO, in excess of 10 mg/m'(S
emi), as oceur in industrial atmospheres, gas burner stacks,
oF automotive exhaust, or for samples relatively high in suf
lioxide content, other methods should be applied. Sex for
example Test Method D 1608,
13 The maximum sampling period is 60 min at a fow rate
of 0.4 Limi

4. Summary of Test Method
4,1, The NO, is absorbed in un uzo-dye-forming reagent
(1) A ted-violet color is prosuced within 15 mia, the intensity
of whict is measured spectrophotomettically at $50 nm,
5. Signiticance and Use
5.1 Nitrogen dioxide plays an important rule in photochen
cal smog-forming reactions and, in sulticiem concentrations, is
Aeleterious to health, agriculture, materials, and visibility
52 In combustion processes, signiicant amounts of nitric
oxide (NO) may be produced by combination of atmosphere
hitrogen aod oxygen; at ambient temperatures NO can be
converted to NO, by oxygen and other atmospheric oxidante
Nitrogen dioxide may also be generated from processes inv oly
ing nitne acid, nitrates, the use of explosives, and welding
6. Interferences
5.1 A ten-fold ratio of sulfur dioxide ($0,) to NO, produces
‘no effect. A thinty-fold ratio slowly blewches the color tos
Slight extent. The addition of ueetone tw the reagent retards the
fading by forming a empotary addition product with SO>, This
Permits reading the color intensity within 4 to 5 h (instead of
the 48 oun required without the acetone) without apprec able
losses,
