Abstract

Jet Propellant-8 (JP-8) is a military fuel associated with a large percentage of chemical exposures documented by the US Department of Defense. A fast and sensitive solid-phase microextraction–gas chromatographic–mass spectrometric (SPME–GC–MS) method has been developed for the determination of 34 ‘marker compounds’ found in JP-8. Linear ranges (R2>0.99) were determined for each marker component and precision was measured (<16% RSD) for these components over four concentrations within each calibration range. The method was applied for the analysis of JP-8 components from soil. The use of SPME over other sample extraction techniques eliminates solvents, minimizes sample handling, and increases sensitivity.
