Evaluation of Indoor Exposition to Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene, Xylene, and Styrene by Passive Sampling with a Solid-Phase Microextraction Device

A solid-phase microextraction (SPME) sampling method is developed to evaluate indoor exposure to benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene, and styrene with gas chromatography and flame ionization detection for quantitative analysis. An SPME holder with a 100-µm polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and 65-µm PD...

Description
Summary:A solid-phase microextraction (SPME) sampling method is developed to evaluate indoor exposure to benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene, and styrene with gas chromatography and flame ionization detection for quantitative analysis. An SPME holder with a 100-µm polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and 65-µm PDMS-divinylbenzene fiber coating is tested in different air relative humidity conditions. The method gives good resolution, shows a linear response, is repeatable, and presents high sensitivity. This method is compared with National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) active sampling.
