A Study on the Behavior Patterns of Liquid Aerosols Using Disinfectant Chloromethylisothiazolinone/Methylisothiazolinone Solution.

ABSTRACT: This study evaluates the behavioral characteristics of components (methylisothiazolinone (MIT) and chloromethylisothiazolinone (CMIT)) contained in disinfectant solutions when they convert to liquid aerosols. The analytical method for MIT and CMIT quantitation was established and optimized using sorbent tube/thermal desorber-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry system; their behavioral characteristics are discussed using the quantitative results of these aerosols under different liquid aerosol generation conditions. MIT and CMIT showed different behavioral characteristics depending on the aerosol mass concentration and sampling time (sampling volume). When the disinfectant solution was initially aerosolized, MIT and CMIT were primarily collected on glass filter (MIT = 91.8 ± 10.6% and CMIT
