title: A simple gas chromatographic method for the analysis of trace organics in ambient air.
abstract: A simple method using adsorption, heat desorption, and F.I.D. gas chromatography to determine ppb quantities of various organic vapors in air is described. Laboratory results with chemicals such as bischloromethyl ether, vinyl chloride monomer and volatile ketones are discussed.
