Technical Bulletin No. 0656: A Study of the Tedlar Bag Sampling for the Determination of Reduced Sulfur Gas Concentrations in Workplace Atmospheres

Tedlar gas sampling bags were tested in both the field and laboratory for use in sampling reduced sulfur gases in workplace atmospheres. The gases of interest were hydrogen sulfide, methyl mercaptan, dimethyl sulfide, and dimethyl disulfide. Mixtures of these four gases were collected in Tedlar gas sampling bags. The sampled gases were subsequently analyzed by gas chromatography with flame photometric detection.
