Abstract:		"An analytical protocol is presented for the determination of volatile organic compounds in hazardous wastes that are amenable to the purge-and-trap method. The protocol features a tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether (tetraglyme) extraction of the liquid or solid waste, addition of an aliquot of the tetraglyme waste to water, and purging of the tetraglyme-water mixture with subsequent gas chromatographic/mass spectrometric (GC/MS) analysis. The size of the tetraglyme aliquot is determined by gas chromatographic screening of a hexadecane waste extract. Quality assurance/quality control procedures are included within the analytical protocol. Spike extraction recoveries of industrial wastes obtained by following this protocol are given"
