Determination of volatile contaminants in water at the ng.L-1 level / Michael E. Comba and Klaus L.E. Kaiser.: En36-539/49-1982E-PDF
"An improved analytical headspace method is described for the quantitative determination of volatile contaminants in water. Detection limits at the 1.0 ng-.1 level or better can be achieved for carbon tetrachloride using a suitable capillary column gas chromatograph and electron capture detector. The method is also applicable to the analyses of haloforms and associated halomethanes and haloethanes in drinking waters or quantitation of low ppt concentrations in ground or surface waters. This headspace technique is simple, inexpensive, easily adapted to field conditions and well-suited for cryogenic capillary column chromatography"--Abstract.
