Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid determination of polyaromatic hydrocarbons and polychlorinated biphenyls in water using solid-phase microextraction and GC/MS.

TL;DR: Solid-phase microextraction was investigated as a solvent-free alternative method for the extraction and analysis of nonpolar semivolatile analytes and eliminates the loss of analytes through adsorption onto container walls and saves transport costs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of Substituted Benzene Compounds in Groundwater Using Solid-Phase Microextraction
TL;DR: In this paper, Solid Phase Microextraction (SPME) was applied to the analysis of benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene and xylenes in groundwater.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of substituted benzenes in water at the pg/ml level using solid-phase microextraction and gas chromatography-ion trap mass spectrometry.
David W. Potter,Janusz Pawliszyn +1 more
TL;DR: The combined method SPME-GC-IT-MS, using fibers coated with a 100-microns polydimethylsiloxane coating, showed a limit of quantitation (LOQ) of 50 pg/ml benzene in water, which exceeds the requirements of both the United States Environmental Protection Agency method 524.2 and the Ontario Municipal/Industrial Strategy for Abatement program.
Journal ArticleDOI
Screening assay for dioxin-like compounds based on competitive binding to the murine hepatic Ah receptor. 2. Application to environmental samples.

TL;DR: A series of environmental samples, comprising fly ash, caustic wash water from regeneration of a petrochemical reforming catalyst, fish homogenates, soil, and pulp mill sludge, were analyzed for dioxin-like compounds by an assay involving competitive binding of a reference radioligand and an extract from the sample to mouse hepatic Ah receptor; the results were compared with GC/MS.
