Applications of gas chromatography in the paint & allied industries. Part 5: Environmental studies

The applications of gas chromatography in studies of air pollution have been reviewed by Braman (28) who stated that most substances in the environment could be examined chromatographically by following suitable sampling procedures. In particular mention was made of the analysis of permanent gases and vapours, locally‐high concentrations of chemicals such as may be found in the region of manufacturing plants, and the examination of particulate matter subsequent upon the use of appropriate collection techniques. Three methods for the collection of air samples were described.
