title: Application of solid-phase microextraction for determination of organic vapours in gaseous matrices.
abstract: This paper reviews the practical applications of solid-phase microextraction (SPME) in the analysis of organic vapours which are pollutants of atmospheric air, indoor air and workplace air. Applications to headspace of solids and liquids such as different waters, soils, food, etc., are also included. Problems related to calibration in SPME analysis of gaseous matrices are also dealt with. Calibration procedures and apparatus for generation of standard gaseous mixtures are described. Advantages and limitations of SPME based gas chromatographic methods of air organic pollutants are discussed.
