Headspace Determination of Acetone and Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Soil Using a Homebuilt, Inexpensive Gas Chromatograph with Photoionization Detection

Headspace Determination of Acetone and Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Soil Using a Homebuilt, Inexpensive Gas Chromatograph with Photoionization Detection

We have designed, built, and characterized an inexpensive gas chromatograph with photoionization detection using readily commercially available components. These include a home carbonation CO<sub>2</sub> cylinder for the carrier gas, headspace sampling using a low pressure six port valve...
