Among the chemicals belonging to the schedules of the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC), sampling and analysis of highly volatile compounds such as hydrogen cyanide (HCN) require special consideration. The latter is present in numerous old chemical weapons that are stockpiled
Journal of chromatography. A, 962(1-2), 175-181 (2002-08-30)
A simple method using active trapping on adsorbents and thermal desorption followed by GC-MS analysis was developed for the indoor air monitoring of monoterpenes. The study was carried out using a dynamically generated atmosphere consisting of 11 monoterpenes: camphene, camphor
Journal of environmental monitoring : JEM, 2(4), 313-324 (2001-03-16)
Air sampling, using sorbents, thermal desorption and gas chromatography, is a versatile method for identifying and quantifying trace levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Thermal desorption can provide high sensitivity, appropropriate choices of sorbents and method parameters can accommodate a
Journal of occupational and environmental hygiene, 1(6), 363-370 (2004-07-09)
In an effort to assess the scope of occupational exposures to ethylene, the Olefins Panel of the American Chemistry Council designed and conducted a research project to develop and apply a sampling and analytical method to measure workplace exposure. The
American Industrial Hygiene Association journal, 47(3), 158-163 (1986-03-01)
Thermal desorption is a more sensitive alternative to solvent desorption for the determination of acrylonitrile in air. A dual-bed collection tube (Tenax GC and Carbosieve B) was developed for collecting and concentrating low levels of acrylonitrile. Two thermal desorption techniques
