Emission evaluation of carbon disulfide from rubber surfaces in small environmental chambers

Abstract

Abstract Carbon disulfide (CS2) emitted from rubber surfaces was determined by TD-GC-MS. Simulated with 60 L environmental chambers, the emission characteristics of CS2 from rubber surfaces were investigated. The quantitative approach was confirmed using a dynamic recovery experiment. The emission factors of CS2 presented a rapid increase especially in the inception phase, and an equilibrium status was obtained while the relative standard deviations were within 5% after 6 h. This method was quite appropriate for the emission characteristic research of sulfide, which provided a theoretical basis for the corresponding environmental supervision of rubber surfaces.
