Onsite Analytical Screening of Gasoline Contaminated Media Using a Jar Headspace Procedure
Abstract
Portable analytical instrumentation is now widely used to investigate and document conditions of environmental contamination by volatile organic compounds, including media contamination by complex mixtures such as gasoline and other light petroleum distillates. In addition to providing substantial cost-savings over traditional laboratory procedures, the utilization of such equipment provides immediate onsite data for use in assessment or remedial response actions.
