Abstract

Interest and activity in a field of research or application can be gauged by the frequency with which developments are reviewed. By this criterion, application of gas chromatography/mass spectrometry/computer (GC/MS/COMP) techniques to the analysis of aqueous matrices must be at an all-time high, with no indication that interest in the use of the combined technique is waning. The application of GC/MS/COMP to the qualitative and quantitative analysis of organic water pollutants has been reviewed, and recent reviews have also stressed the value of capillary gas chromatography coupled with automated data-handling techniques and accumulation of spectral reference data for organic trace pollutants in water.(1–6) Special techniques interfaced to GC/MS/COMP systems (e.g., purge and trap methods) have been reviewed. Bishop has discussed recent modifications in the purge and trap procedure.(7)
