Description
Summary:The authors have examined the theoretical requirements of composite sampling, the propagation of errors which occur from sampling through identification, and the efficiency of sampling methods using capture-recapture methods. Estimates of the total number of compounds which might be identifiable by gas chromatograhpy-mass spectrometry, have been made. The theoretical findings have been translated into practice by the development of a multichannel sampler (Tigwell and Schaeffer 1980) which permits the simultaneous collection of a sample by up to four methods. The present paper will describe how these elements interplayed in a study of a coke plant's waste water.
