Determination of Volatile Organic Compounds in Air

Air pollution is a growing problem due to the global economy and industrial development in many countries. As a result, the analysis of ambient air is a growing field. This application note describes the analysis of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) in air samples using the Environmental Protection Agency developed Method TO-15. Air samples are collected in prepared stainless steel canisters and analyzed by Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS).
