1. Scope

1.1 This guide describes analytical methods for determining formaldehyde concentrations in air.

1.2 The guide is primarily focused on formaldehyde measurement technologies applicable to indoor (including in vehicle and workplace) air and associated environments (that is, chambers or bags, or both, used for formaldehyde emission testing). The described technologies may be applicable to other environments (ambient outdoor).

This document serves as a general guide on how to approach and successfully calibrate a Picarro cavity ring-down spectrometer (CRDS). The steps described herein can be used on isotopic and/or concentration analyzers that measure CO2, CO, CH4, H2O, C2H2, C2H4, C2H6, CH2O, O2 and N2O. Additional analyzers may require special or extra steps to calibrate properly.
