Abstract
Gas chromatographic analysis of the benzene obtained for radiocarbon dating revealed only very low levels (<200 ppm in total) of impurities, most of which were alkylbenzenes. Traces of acetone and phenol were also found. These impurities, at such low levels are thought unlikely to affect counting efficiency.Keywords
