Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Headspace sampling of whole eggs at 50 degree C was used to determine benzene, toluene, trichloroethene, tetrachloroethene, chlorobenzene, ethylbenzene, ortho- meta-, and para-xylenes as sources of contamination. A 30-m, 0.53-mm ID fused silica capillary column coated with 1.0 mu m (5%) methyl silicone attached to a photo ionization detector was used to separate and detect the volatiles. The sensitivity of the method was 0.002 mu g/mL with an average precision for all nine compounds of 16.5 (n = 10) for a 0.01 mu g/ml standard.
