چکیده
A large number of hydrocarbons, halocarbons, and organic nitrates were quantified in whole air samples acquired for the NASA-sponsored GTE missions PEM-Tropics A and B. The samples were collected in electro-polished stainless steel canisters from two aircraft while flying over the Pacific Basin. Two nominally identical multicolumn multidetector gas chromatographic analytical systems were employed. Whole air samples were also used as working and calibrated standards and were collected specifically for this purpose. This paper describes the analytical procedure employed during PEM-Tropics B. Minor differences in the PEM-Tropics A system will also be discussed. More than 3,900 samples were analyzed for 34 gases during PEM-Tropics A, over 4,500 samples were analyzed for 58 gases during PEM-Tropics B. An overview is presented of the collection, analysis, and quantification of whole air samples during the PEM-Tropics missions, along with an analysis of the analytical precision achieved during these missions.

Recent Advances in Microextraction Methods for Sampling and Analysis of Volatile Organic Compounds in Air: A Review
Human exposures to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are associated with a wide range of health problems. Due to these adverse effects of VOCs on the human health, determination of trace levels of VOCs is very important for accurate assessment of indoor and outdoor exposure. Solid phase microextraction (SPME), needle trap device (NTD) and hollow fiber- liquid phase microextraction (HF-LPME) are...
