Abstract

The application of multiple headspace gas chromatography to the quantitative determination of volatiles in soil samples has been studied by means of a simulated system represented by cyclohexanone absorbed on a soil. An example of fast and accurate determination is reported. It has been experimentally demonstrated that this technique may over come the problems linked to the handling of a solid matrix contaminated by volatiles, because it is not required to reproduce the solid matrix to perform a quantitative determination, it being sufficient to obtain complete vaporization of the calibration standard.
