Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study developed a collection device for precise determination of airborne semi-volatile organic compounds, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and sesquiterpenes. First, partition-based collection of SVOC was investigated. As the partition mediums, octadecyl bound silica and poly-dimethyl siloxane coated silica were investigated.
Next, a novel collection device packed with styrene-divinylbenzene polymer particles was developed. The device showed higher collection power for several airborne SVOCs. In addition, the collected SVOCs were completely eluted by just passing of small amount of organic solvent.
