title: Concentration of headspace, airborne and aqueous volatiles on Chromosorb 105 for examination by gas chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.
abstract: Techniques are described for the collection of volatile material from headspace vapours and the atmosphere and for the direct extraction of volatiles from aqueous solution by traps containing the porous polymer Chromosorb 105. The traps are inserted through a valve into a gas chromatograph which facilitates the desorption and transfer of the volatiles to high-resolution capillary columns. Selected applications of the technique are described.
