Abstract: | "Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from several different municipal solid wastes' treatment plants in Mallorca (Spain) have been analysed by thermal desorption-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (TD-GC-MS). Ambient (immission) air was collected during February and March 2011 by active sampling onto sorbents Tenax TA and Carboxen 1000. The study presents the chemical characterisation of 93 volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from an overall set of 84 immission air samples. 70 VOCs were positively identified. The linear fit for all 93 external standard calibration, from 10 mg L(-1) to 150 mg L(-1) (n=4), was within the range 0.974 |
