Method 1003

Halogenated Hydrocarbons


This method is used for the collection and analysis of halgenated hydrocarbons.  The analytes validated for the method are in the table below.  The sample is collected on a coconut shell charcoal tube.  After collection, the sample is desorbed in 1mL of carbon disulfide and analyzed by GC/FID (flame ionization detector).  

High humidity during sampling will prevent organic vapors from being trapped efficiently on the sorbent and greatly decreases breakthrough volume.
