Abstract
Solid-phase microextraction (SPME) has been adapted for the analysis o f gasoline in fire debris. Compared to traditional passive headspace c oncentration (activated charcoal strip), the SPME method presented her e was found to be faster. simpler and have a higher sensitivity. This method also eliminates the need for the highly flammable and toxic sol vent carbon disulfide.
