Development and Evaluation of a Procedure for Determining Volatile Organics in Water (Journal Version)

摘要

A comprehensive procedure for isolation of volatile organic compounds from various waters was developed through the use of representative volatile organic compounds as part of the EPA Master Analytical Scheme. Preliminary recoveries were determined for a broad range of analytes in distilled water, municipal wastewater effluent, and industrial (energy-related) wastewater effluent. The apparatus for isolation of the compounds form water was interfaced directly to a gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer-computer, and recoveries were determined for compounds comprising different functional groups in drinking water and municipal-industrial wastewater.
