Document Title: Method for the Determination of Volatile Organic Compounds in Ambient Air Using Tenax® Adsorption and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS)
Developer: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
Summary of Scope: Describes procedures for collection and determination of certain VOCs, which can be captured on Tenax sorbent and analyzed by thermal desorption GC/MS techniques. Sorbent and sampling cartridge preparation, and air sampling procedures are covered. A two-stage thermal desorption analytical procedure with GC/MS analysis is described.
