Abstract
The wide variety of volatile organic compounds found in the indoor environment can present a difficult chromatographic problem for the analyst. Capillary-column gas chromatography is required to achieve adequate separation. Thermal desorption/capillary gas chromatography/mass spectrometry is usually the preferred method for broad spectrum analysis of the volatile organics detected indoors. Cryogenic trapping is required for capillary gas chromatographic analysis of the more volatile components.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
