Abstract

Knowledge of the chemical composition of volcanic exhalation is important in providing information on volcanic feeding systems and on the characteristics of the gaseous compounds emitted into the atmosphere. This paper reports a novel analytical method that makes use of capillary gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry, preceded by solid-phase micro extraction for sample enrichment. Such an approach enables considerable expansion of the number of neutral organic compounds that can be positively identified in volcanic exhalation. Data obtained from analysis of real samples are also reported.
