| Abstract: | "A rapid and quantitative analytical method for volatile chlorinated hydrocarbons and benzene, such as chloroethylene, dichloromethane, and carbon tetrachloride, in soil samples was developed using a needle-type extraction device packed with activated carbon-based adsorbents. The soil sample of 10 g was placed in a glass cartridge and fixed with quartz wool to make sure not to move during the extraction process. After the internal standard solution was spiked into the soil sample, the cartridge was sealed with a polytetrafluoroethylene adapter, and the needle extraction device was used to collect the headspace gas. Analytes were purged from the soil sample and collected on the adsorbent, while pure nitrogen gas was introduced to the soil sample during the sample collection. The sampling time was approximately 10 min for 100 mL of gas sampling. After the sampling process, the extraction needle was directly inserted into a heated injection port of gas chromatography equipped with flame ionization detector (GC-FID) or that hyphenated to mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The extracted VOCs were thermally desorbed and simultaneously introduced to a GC capillary column for subsequent separation and determination. The limit of detection and limit of quantification of all the examined analytes was less than 20 and 60 ng/10 g soil in GC-FID and less than 2.5 and 7.5 ng/10 g soil in the case of GC-MS. Linear calibration curves were obtained up to 10 mug/10 g soil for all the analytes. The relative standard deviations of the ratio of analyte peak area and internal standard peak area were less than 10%. The recovery and sensitivity of analytes confirmed in the proposed method were compared with that obtained with a standard method conventionally employed" |
