Title Method for the determination of phenol in atmospheric air
Original title Metod opredelenija fenola v atmosfernom vozduhe [in Russian]
Bibliographic information Sep. 1985, No.9, p.53-54. Illus. 5 ref.
Abstract Air to be sampled is drawn through a bed of Silochrom sorbent in a tube. The tube is placed in a heated chamber at the injector end of a gas chromatography column, where adsorbed phenol is thermally desorbed. The column is peaked with 15% polymethylphenylsiloxane on Chromaton NAW. A flame-ionisation detector is used. The method can detect 0.005mg/m3 in a 1L sample with a relative error of ±10%.
