Rapid On-Site Screening of Environmental VOCs in Soil Using Solid Phase Microextraction and a Person-Portable GC-MS

摘要

The ability to screen soil samples in the field by identifying volatile environmental contaminants is a valuable tool. Results of the screening procedure may be used to guide other sample collection activities and will help identify which EPA extraction methods to use. In combination with the CUSTODION~(TM) SPME syringe, the TRIDION-9 portable GC-TMS can positively identify unknown VOCs in the field and prescreen samples similar to EPA method 3815.
