SPME is an appealing method for sample collection because it is designed for the sampling of trace level analytes with short sampling times in a variety of environments. Additionally, SPME can be used to directly deliver a sample to a gas chromatograph (GC) for analysis by means of thermal desorption. In this paper, the performance of SPME under dynamic conditions was investigated. Additionally, the competence of SPME sampling for the simultaneous analysis of multiple trace analytes was also evaluated. This work is discussed in the context of underground mine ventilation surveys but is applicable to any industry in which ventilation circuits must be evaluated. The results of this paper showed that the performance of the 100 ~m PDMS SPME fiber was both precise and rapid under dynamic conditions. This SPME fiber was also able to simultaneously collect sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) and perfluoromethylcyclohexane (PMCH) with adequate sensitivity.展开更多

The six sampling sites located in the Natural Park of Ampezzo Dolomites, part of the UNESCO's World Heritage List, are characterized by different predominating vegetation. The ubiquitous compound hexanal was chosen as internal standard, in order to compare the amounts of the different compound in the different sites. The main terpenes identified were α-pinene, 13-pinene, 6-3-carene and d-limonene, while 1,8 cineole was the highest abundant oxygenated terpene. In the site next the'national road a higher amount of benzene derivatives (ben- zene, toluene, o-xylene, p-xylene and ethylbenzene) were observed. In the site relatively close to the road a marked decrease of benzene deriva- tives was observed. In the sites close to conifers (i.e. Fir, Pine and Larch) the terpenic content observed was higher than in the site close to the mixed forest (mainly large-leaf and some conifers). Some terpenes were observed also in the high-quote meadow site, although of lower abun- dance than in the other sites. The highest abundance of terpenes was ob- served in the Pinus cerebra (Swiss Pine) site.展开更多
