摘要
Automobile occupants might be exposed to considerable amounts of methanol from previously unreported source, namely via the inhalation of vapors of winter-grade, methanol-based, windshield washing fluid that drains to the intake air ducts of the car. Air samples were collected in passenger cars during simulated operating conditions and analyzed for methanol via headspace gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, electron impact, selected ion monitoring. The method was linear in the 2-2000 ppm range. Concentrations exceeding 1000 ppm were recorded.
