Innovative gas chromatographic determination of formaldehyde by miniaturized extraction and on-fiber derivatization, via SPME and SPME Arrow

Formaldehyde (FA) is a carbonyl compound, ubiquitous in the environment and among the most widespread pollutants: it has exhibited toxic properties and is classified as a human carcinogen. FA is released from several sources, both temporary (e.g., combustion processes) and permanent (e.g., building products). This work proposes an innovative fully-automated application of headspace solid-phase microextraction (SPME) with on-fiber derivatization for the analysis of airborne FA emitted from liquid solutions or solid manufacts, in static mode, via gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The method ...
