Summary
A method for the sampling of chemical products from aerosol cans is described. An aerosol can is frozen in liquid nitrogen, followed by puncturing the can and allowing the propellant to distill off. The conditions for the smaple preparation have been optimized. Solvent content in the products were analysed by headspace gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.
