Chromatographia Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

A fast, simple, and reliable method is presented for the determination of atmospheric semi-volatile organic pollutants at μg m−3 levels. The method has been used to monitor potentially carcinogenic toxic compounds to which workers are exposed in workplaces, and to measure the same compounds in outdoor air.
