    Abstract

    Whole column coldtrapping(WCC) on a fused silica capillary (FSCC)combined with GC/MS analysis was evaluated for use in the investigation of volatile organic compounds(VOCs) in indoor air. Research had indicated that a temperature of <TEX>$-80^{\circ}C$</TEX> is optimal for WCC. Samples were analyzed on a <TEX>$50m{\times}0.2mm$</TEX> cross-linked 5% phenylmethylsilicone fused silica column. Liquid nitrogen was used as the coolant for the peak resolution significantly. The analysis can be performed quickly and conveniently. More than 112 of VOCs were determined in the samples from three typical indoor environment including: (1) a room which had just been decorated involving building materials and paints; (2)a kitchen used for Chinese cooking, and (3) a room had tobacco smoke. The method is could be readily applied to rapid sample screening for VOCs contamination surveys or initial investigations with its valid and simple sampling and analytical technique.
