A systematic approach to pesticide identification developed by Suzuki uses column chromatography, thin-layer chromatography and gas-liquid chromatography. Mass spectroscopy (MS) is also a powerful tool for the identification of compounds. ... The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) had defined volatile priority pollutants as those amenable to analysis by the purge-and-trap method of sample preparation. ... This method is generally applicable for substances with low water solubility and boiling points below 130 ° C. 1, record 4, English, - purge%2Dand%2Dtrap%20method%20of%20sample%20preparation

The EPA method of screening for volatile compounds involves purging the sample with helium and trapping the volatilized organic compounds on a column of Tenax GC and silica gel at room temperature. The organic material is then thermally desorbed onto the gas chromatographic column.... The purge-and-trap methods cited most often are those developed by Bellar and Lichtemberg although many similar techniques have been developed by other researchers. 1, record 4, English, - purge%2Dand%2Dtrap%20method%20of%20sample%20preparation
