INTRODUCTION The Chemical Hygiene Plan is a written program developed and implemented by Des Moines Area Community College (DMACC) to ensure the safety of employees whose work involves the laboratory use of hazardous chemicals. It sets forth the policies, procedures, and practices, both for employees who work with hazardous chemicals and for those whose responsibilities include the support of such work. Regulatory Basis The development and implementation of the Chemical Hygiene Plan was mandated by the final rule on "Occupational Exposures to Hazardous Chemicals in Laboratories" (commonly known as the OSHA Lab Safety Standard). This rule has been incorporated into subpart Z of 29 CFR 1910 and is required to be implemented by January 31, 1991. Appendix I of this plan is a copy of the rule as published in the Federal Register on January

  • Technical/Application Article 02 Version 1.10 22Nd January 2018 WRH/FD
    Technical/Application Article 02 Version 1.10 22nd January 2018 WRH/FD Ion Science PID Response Factors PID Response Photoionisation Detectors (PIDs) respond to a broad range of organic and a few inorganic gaseous and volatile chemicals (‘volatiles’). In order for PID to respond to a volatile, the photon energy of the lamp must be greater than its ionisation energy (IE). Ion Science PIDs are available with lamps emitting light of maximum energy of 10.0 eV, 10.6 eV, and 11.7 eV. This Technical Article lists the response factors (‘RF’s’) for over 900 volatiles with PID incorporating these lamps. The RF relates the sensitivity of PID to a volatile to the sensitivity to the standard calibration gas isobutylene. The higher the RF, the lower the sensitivity. Isobutylene as Reference Gas Ideally, the PID response to a chemical volatile would be calibrated by using a low concentration of the chemical in air. However, this is often not practical. Isobutylene is then used to calibrate PID, and a Response Factor (RF) used to convert the isobutylene calibrated measurement to a measurement of the target volatile: Concentration of target chemical = isobutylene calibrated measurement x RF For example, the RF of anisole is 0.59 with a 10.6 eV lamp. Therefore, a reading of 10 ppm using an isobutylene-calibrated unit would indicate: Concentration of anisole = 10 ppm x 0.59 = 5.9 ppm In Ion Science detectors, RFs are pre-programmed into a compound library and can be called up to make the PID read out in units of the chemical of interest.

All laboratory chemical use areas must maintain a work-area specific Chemical Hygiene Plan which conforms to the requirements of the OSHA Laboraotry Standard 29 CFR 19190.1450. Purdue University laboratories may use this document as a starting point for creating their work area specific CHP. Minimally this cover page is to be edited for work area specificity (non-West Lafayette laboratories are to place their own emergency, fire, and police telephone numbers in the space above) AND appendix K must be completed. This instruction and information box should remain. This model CHP is version 2010A; updates are to be found at www.purdue.edu/rem This page intentionally blank. PURDUE CHEMICAL HYGIENE PLAN AWARENESS CERTIFICATION For CHP of: ______________________________ Professor, building, rooms The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires that laboratory employees be made aware of the Chemical Hygiene Plan at their place of employment (29 CFR 1910.1450). The Purdue University Chemical Hygiene Plan and Hazardous Materials Safety Manual serves as the written Chemical Hygiene Plan (CHP) for laboratories using chemicals at Purdue University. The CHP is a regular, continuing effort, not a standby or short term activity. Departments, divisions, sections, or other work units engaged in laboratory work whose hazards are not sufficiently covered in this written manual must customize it by adding their own sections as appropriate (e.g.

  • Chromatographic Separation of Alkaline Earth Metals Using Alpha-Hydroxyisobutyric Acid
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF JOHN ARTHUR HAUSCHILD for the MASTER OF SCIENCE (Name) (Degree) in CHEMISTRY (ANALYTICAL) presented on (Major) Title: CHROMATOGRAPHIC SEPARATION OF ALKALINE EARTH METALS USING ALPHA-HYDROXYISOBUYRIC ACID Abstract approved: Redacted for Privacy Max B. Williams A systematic study of the elution of magnesium and calcium from Dowex 50 X 8 resin using a-hydroxyisobutyric acid (a-HIBA) at various pH values and concentrations, indicated that the difference in the equilibrium distribution coefficients of these two elements was large enough for a good separation.This fact was applied to develop a chromatographic procedure for the separationof milligram quantities of magnesium, calcium, strontium, and barium.After magnesium was eluted with 0. 22M a-HIBA at pH 4. 5, thethree remaining elements were eluted by varying the concentration and pH of a-HIBAduring the course of the elution (exponential gradient elution).After its respec- tive elution, each alkaline earth metal was directly determined by atomic absorption spectroscopy.Using this method, several success- ful analyses of synthetic samples (similar to the composition of sea water) were performed.Yield determinations of the alkaline earth metals from these analyses were consistently greater than 93%, with the overall average yield being 98%.
