Notes:
A multiple headspace extraction-capillary gas chromatographic method for the quantitative, accurate, and rapid determination of volatiles in multicontaminated soil samples has been developed. A thick film fused silica column has been used and a nine-step multiple headspace extraction (MHE) determination performed. Calibration was achieved by introducing 1 μl of a standard solution of mixed volatiles into empty headspace vials, the presence of the matrix being unnecessary in multiple headspace extraction. Accuracy of determination by MHE-CGC and a simple method employing standard additions have been compared.
