Abstract
A train of carbon and DNPH-coated cartridges set in series is proposed as a suitable method for determining all carbonyl compounds from C-1 to C-12 in air and emission samples. While the front traps are analyzed by GC-MS afte r thermal desorption, back-up cartridges are analyzed by HPLC-UV after liqu id extraction. The method has been tested through laboratory and field expe riments. Practical applications are reported and data obtained used for dis cussing the possible origin of volatile and semi-volatile compounds in fore st areas of the Mediterranean basin.
