Description:

The U.S. EPA's vacuum distillation of water, soil, oil, and fish samples is presented as an alternative technique for determining volatile organic compounds. nalysis of samples containing VOCs and non-VOCs at 50 ppb concentrations were performed to evaluate method limitations. nalyte recoveries were found to relate closely with boiling point unless a compound's water solubility exceeded 5 g/L. ecovery, precision, and method detection limits for VOCs demonstrate this technology is appropriate for environmental samples.
