Abstract
The analysis of organics in aqueous solutions by gas chromatography needs sample pretreatment in order to avoid contact of water with the stationary phase of the column. A new method based on dehydration by boron trifluoride and its use for the analysis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in microemulsions is described.
