INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES
The Research Triangle Institute (RTI) over the past few years has
collected many ambient air samples in the vicinity of industrial sources
and other environments at various geographical areas within the Continen-
tal U.S. Under the sponsorship of contracts from EPA, these samples
have been characterized by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry/computer
and data have been stored on computer tapes.
The methodology which has been developed and applied during the
past few years for the characterization of ambient organic vapors utilizes
a polypollutant concept whereby as many pollutants as possible are
collected and analyzed. In this manner, a considerable amount of data
is generated and selected portions are subjected to characterization and
quantification. These data which have been placed in archival storage
also contains information about pollutants which have not been interpre-
ted. An example is benzene in ambient air.
The prime objective of the service provided under this contract was
to process information contained on these tapes and to determine the
concentration of benzene in ambient air samples. A minimum of 150
previously collected samples were quantitated which had not been pre-
viously reported. Furthermore, a compilation has been prepared of the
concentration of benzene in all the samples that have been analyzed to
date.
Experimental Methods
The techniques used for the collection of ambient air organic
(1 2)
vapors has been previously described. ' Table A1-A18 and Figures Al-
A31 in Appendix A present the sampling protocols and the corresponding
locations for the samples which were acquired and analyzed over the
-------
past two years under several EPA contracts. The methods for qualitative
and quantitative analysis of these samples has also been previously
described.^1>2)
Results and Discussion
Tables 1 through 15 present the concentrations of benzene which
were measured at several locations within the industrial and non-
industrialized areas in the Continental U.S. The concentrations of
benzene measured in the ambient air for nonurbanized areas (El Dorado
and Magnolia, Ark) were very low relative to urbanized sites. The
highest concentrations were associated with areas containing high
petrochemical industry.
