Abstract
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 (V0Cs). Analysis of samples containing VOCs and non-VOCs at 50 ppb concentrations were performed to evaluate method limitations. Analyte recoveries were found to relate closely with boiling point unless a compound's water solubility exceeded 5 g/L. Recovery, precision, and method detection limits for VOCs demonstrate this technology is appropriate for environmental samples.
