Scan4Work - Ethylbenzene

€99.00
Tax included
ETB-PRO

Complete testing kit for measuring workplace air quality and occupational exposure to ethylbenzene (CAS 108-88-3), which is classified as a carcinogen and a reproductive toxin. Exposure to ethylbenzene can cause occupational diseases.

Occupational Exposure: Standard
  • Standard
  • Homogeneous Exposure Group

Ethylbenzene (CAS 108-88-3) is an aromatic hydrocarbon primarily used as a chemical intermediate and industrial solvent. It is present in many occupational settings, particularly those involving exposure to solvent vapors and petrochemicals.

Regular monitoring of occupational exposure to ethylbenzene is a regulatory requirement and essential for protecting workers’ health and preventing occupational diseases.

What is included in the Scan4Work - Ethylbenzene test kit?

  • A Scan4Air VOC sampler
  • Instructions for use
  • A sample collection form to be completed and returned with your sample
  • Prepaid return shipping for your sample to the laboratory (mainland France)
  • Laboratory analysis of the sample
  • Analysis report sent by email to the address provided on the sample collection form

What are the main industrial uses of ethylbenzene?

Ethylbenzene is commonly found in consumer products and is one of the most widely used chemicals in the chemical and petrochemical industries, particularly as:

  • Production of styrene (a raw material for polystyrene and ABS plastics)
  • Solvent in paints, varnishes, inks, and adhesives
  • Found in gasoline and other petroleum products
  • Used in laboratories and petrochemical facilities

What are the occupational exposure limits (OELs) that employers must comply with?

According to OSHA, the OEL for ethylbenzene is 100 ppm, equivalent to 442 mg/m³ (8 hours TLV-TWA, Threshold Limit Value − Time-Weighted Average).

Under current French, the 8-hour OEL for ethylbenzene is 88.4 mg/m³, and the short-term OEL (15 minutes) is 442 mg/m³.

The OEL for ethylbenzene are mandatory, meaning that workers' exposure must not exceed the exposure limit.

How is your air sample collected and analyzed?

  • Sampling: This is performed using a Scan4Air VOC sampler containing activated carbon, specifically designed for sampling to measure occupational exposure.
    • For workplace ambient air measurements, it is placed in the work environment for 8 hours;
    • For occupational exposure measurements, it is attached to the operator’s collar using the provided clip for 8 hours
  • Analysis: After extracting the activated carbon with a solvent, the extract is analyzed using gas chromatography (GC) coupled with mass spectrometry (MS) for reliable and accurate detection.
  • Turnaround time: Your analysis results are available within 15 business days.
  • Report: Your analysis results are sent via email in the form of a detailed report in French.

Homogeneous Exposure Group (HEG)

The regulatory assessment of occupational exposure requires the simultaneous measurement of exposure for three workers (Homogeneous Exposure Group) and the measurement of ambient air at the workplace. The HEG version of this kit includes all the equipment needed to perform these four measurements.

This kit allows you to easily, quickly, and reliably measure workplace air quality or occupational exposure to ensure compliance with regulations and workplace safety.
