EPA Method TO-1:
METHOD FOR THE DETERMINATION OF VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS IN AMBIENT AIR USING TENAX? ADSORPTION AND GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY/MASS SPECTROMETRY (GC/MS)
Summary:
Ambient air is drawn through a cartridge containing -1-2 grams of Tenax and certain volatile organic compounds are trapped on the resin while highly volatile organic compounds and most inorganic atmospheric constituents pass through the cartridge. The cartridge is then transferred to the laboratory and analyzed.
Scope:
The document describes a generalized protocol for collection and determination of certain volatile organic compounds which can be captured on Tenax? GC (poly(2,6- Diphenyl phenylene oxide)) and determined by thermal desorption GC/MS techniques.
