A Method for the determination of low concentration of organic vapours in air and exhaled breath / J.C. Gage, V. Lagesson and A. Tunek

Sumario: A method is described for the determination of low concentrations of organic vapours in air and in exhaled breath. A measured volume is sample through a tube containing silica gel, then the vapour is desorbed with water in a closed tube and a sample of the head space air is taken for analysis by gas-liquid chromatography. The limit of sensitivity and maximal loading on the silica gel have been determined for benzene, n-butanol, acetone, hexane and trichloroethylene in street air and in the breath of non-occupationally exposed individuals
