Objective
The objective of this work is to demonstrate the use of multiple headspace extraction for the quantitative determination of organic volatiles in solid matrices. Specifically, the residual styrene content in a sample of polystyrene foam is determined.
Analytical Strategy
Multiple Headspace Extraction GCMS is well suited for analysis of organic volatiles from a complex matrix. This technique can avoid some common problems encountered when trying to quantitate volatiles using traditional GCMS techniques, especially when the matrix is a polymer.
