OSTI ID:5566259

A standardized variant of gas chromatographic headspace analysis of waste waters and air from industrial sites has been developed, based on a combination of sorptive concentration, thermal desorption with steam, and headspace analysis of the aqueous condensate obtained. Under the given conditions the detection limits of the compounds investigated were much lower than the maximum permissible concentrations. The experimental errors in the analysis of the aqueous samples do not generally exceed 10%; for contaminated air the corresponding error is 15-20%.
