This is an Application Brief and does not contain a detailed Experimental section.
This application brief highlights the analysis of DNPH derivatives using XBridge Phenyl columns.
Regulatory agencies around the world are interested in measuring formaldehyde and other aldehydes in the air. Many public health groups are interested in implications of these aldehydes causing respiratory irritation and potentially carcinogenic effects from prolonged exposure. Producers of products that can contribute aldehydes emissions to air and indoor pollutants are manufacturers of materials building and wood products, fabric and textiles, and automotive companies.
