摘要

Solid sorbents were used to collect and store 40 of the 41 volatile organic compounds (VOCs)rnlisted in EPA Compendium Method TO-14. Storage time was varied from 0 to 30 days, afterrnwhich a gas chromatography (GC)–mass spectrometry (MS) analysis was performed to determinernany losses of target compounds. Two commercially available multisorbent combinations packedrnin 90-mm by 4-mm-i.d. glass tubes were investigated in detail. The first multisorbentrncombination was 160 mg Carbotrap B and 70 mg Carboxen 1000; the second multisorbentrncombination was 175 mg Anasorb GCB1 and 180 mg Anasorb CMS. The 0.5- to 20-ppbv TO-14rnsamples used in the evaluation were generated synthetically by blending a 2-ppmv TO-14rncompound mixture with humidified scientific-grade air in a dynamic dilution manifold. Thernsorbent tubes were then loaded from the dilution manifold with sample volumes of .25, 1, or 4 Lrnof the low-ppbv TO-14 mixture to duplicate field sample collection procedures. This samplernloading procedure is more realistic than the technique of syringe-spiking sorbent tubes with highrnconcentrations of VOCs that is often employed in sorbent storage stability studies. The use ofrndistributed volume sampling (two tubes loaded over the same time period at different samplingrnrates) was effective in providing a minimum level of quality assurance. The analysis of samplesrnwas performed using a Perkin Elmer Model ATD 400 automated thermal desorption unit, arnVarian Star 3400Cx gas chromatograph, and a Varian Saturn 2000 ion trap mass spectrometer.rnThe sample tubes were heated to desorb the VOCs, which were then flushed from the tube by arnflow of helium and collected on a multisorbent trap. The trap contained less sorbent than thernsample tube and was effective in subsequently releasing the compounds, again by thermalrndesorption, in a small volume to the GC-MS.rnExperiments in the sample integrity study included preliminary tests investigating sample loadingrnprocedures, tube purging, and comparison of distributive volume pairs; breakthroughrnexperiments; determination of method detection limits (MDLs); determination of precision;rnsample integrity studies; humidity tests; ozone experiments; and collection of ambient airrnsamples. The Carbotrap B/Carboxen 1000 sorbent combination proved to be the mostrnsatisfactory for use with the TO-14 compound set. This multisorbent combination exhibited arnlow background and low variability in response of compounds collected and desorbed from it.rnThe TO-14 MDLs for this combination ranged from 0.04 to 0.51 ppbv except for bromomethane,rnwhich was 1.25 ppbv, and chloromethane, which was 1.37 ppbv. Results of the 30-day studyrnshowed 30-day recoveries within ±20% for loading levels of 5 ppbv with the followingrnexceptions: (1) chloromethane, vinyl chloride, bromomethane, and chloroethane, which werernrecovered at less than 80% at any storage time; (2) 3-chloropropene, which was recovered at lessrnthan 80% after 1 week; (3) 1,1-dichloroethene and dichloromethane, which were recovered atrnless than 80% by day 15; and (4) cis-1,2-dichloroethene and trichloromethane, which were
