Abstract: | Amberlite XAD-2 porous polymer was evaluated for the solid sampling of PCBs, PCNs, tri-, tetra-and pentachlorophenol in workroom air. Using solvent desorption, the recoveries of these compounds from XAD-2 was mostly about 80%, showing this adsorbent to be an excellent medium for the sampling of polychlorinated aromatics in air. |
