title: Determination of volatile organic compounds by headspace trap.
abstract: A new analytical method for the determination of halogenated and aromatic volatile organic compounds in groundwater, mineral water, and drinking water at concentrations ranging between 1-10000 ng/L is developed. A new type of headspace sampler that combines static headspace sampling with a trap is used, yielding very low detection limits and good repeatability without carryover effects. An unexpected transformation of 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane into trichloroethene is observed and explained.
