                                  ABSTRACT
     The basic gas chromatographic/mass spectrometric/computer technique for
the analysis of vapor-phase organic compounds collected on a solid sorbent
was evaluated.  Emphasis was placed on the assessment of performance and
improvement in techniques in the following areas:  (1) wide bore wall
coated columns for organic vapor-phase analysis; (2) gas chromatography/nega-
tive chemical ionization mass spectrometry/computer analysis of halogenated
hydrocarbons in ambient air; (3) the concentration of vapor-phase organics
from the atmosphere on solid sorbents (in situ reactions); and (4) qualitative
and quantitative analysis of vapor-phase organics utilizing the improved
technology.

                                  SECTION 1

                                I3TTRODUCTION
     The need to know what chemicals nay escape into the environment and at
what level they may be harmful leads one to rather quickly ascertain that
until compounds are identified with certainty and accurately measured, then
effective controls of these chemicals is essentially impossible (1).  Our
society has increasingly become aware of the presence of trace amounts and
sometimes far more than just trace amounts of hazardous organics which have
entered the environment inadvertently or otherwise.  There is scarcely any
edition of a newspaper or a new magazine that does not contain a report of
some new environmental mishap.  The classic example is, of course, the Old
Love Canal incident.  Awareness has steadily increased that the ecological
balance is an extremely fragile thing which can very readily be disturbed by
the introduction of man-made products in a wide variety of areas.   The
conmerical production and use of synthetic organic chemicals certainly
constitutes a possible major source of insult to the ecological balance.

     Synthetic organic chemical production in the United States alone has
increased over the last 30 years at an annual rate of 11%.  Types  of direct
chemical introduction are exemplified by the widespread use of pesticides,
fungicides, herbicides, and insecticides, to name just a few of the organic
chemicals used extensively in today's society (2).

     This fact of environmental contamination coupled with Federal regulation
to protect the environment from toxic chemicals has certainly placed a great
burden on the analytical chemist (3).  In analysis of vapor- phase organics
in the atmosphere, the analyst is called upon to both identify and measure
organic substances.  A tremendous range of atmospheric conditions, i.e.
rural to urban, and pollution sources, mobile to industrial (anthropoge-
nic/non-anthropogenic) is encountered.  Indeed, as a result there  has been
a heavy burden placed upon the separation sciences and instrumental develop-
ment for the analysis of vapor-phase organics.

     During the past several years research has been conducted on  the develop-
ment of a method for the collection and analysis of vapor-phase organics
including carcinogenic and mutagenic substances.  The developed techniques
were to achieve ppt detection limits.  During the development of these
techniques, a number of facets have required attention for successful comple-
tion of this concept (4).  A concise presentation of the overall components
envisioned to encompass the analysis of organic vapors in ambient  air using
high resolution gas chromatography/mass spectrometry/cooputer has  been

-------
discussed (4).   This research program begins to evaluate the various compo-
nents which have been assembled as a complete analytical system for organic
analysis.

     The objectives of this program are to improve on techniques and/or
devices within this concept, and to provide the best technology available
for complete characterization and quantification of vapor-phase organics in
the atmosphere.  This report discusses several of these areas:  (1) improve-
ments in the preparation of high resolution columns for the analysis of
non-polar, semi-polar and polar organic vapor-phase constituents; (2) the
increased sensitivity and specificity offered by gas chromatography negative
chemical ionization mass spectrometry; (3) potential in situ reactions which
may occur on sorbents during the collection of vapor-phase organics; and (4)
the application of the improved technology to the qualitative and quantitative
analysis of vapor-phase organics in ambient air from several geographical
areas within the Continental U.S.

                                 CONCLUSIONS
     Studies were conducted on the preparation and evaluation of wide-bore
wall-coated open tubular (VCOT) columns for organic vapor-phase analysis.
The previous problems associated with the use of capillary columns such as
adsorption were substantially reduced with WCOTs prepared by the silanized
and barium carbonate treatment methods described in this report.  Columns of
choice which provided a large linear dynamic range for qualitative and
quantitative analysis of vapor-phase organics were 1.0 M stationary film
thick wide-bore WCOT.  Columns were 0.5 mm i.d. x 75 m in length coated with
SE-30 stationary phase.  In conjunction with the use of capillaries for
analysis of vapor phase organics, a series of performance criteria were
developed which insure their chromatographic quality.  The criteria were:
(a) percent peak asymmetry factor (PAF) to measure the extent of overloading
[capacity] and adsorption of the column; (b) effective Height Equivalent to
a Theoretical plate  (HETP); (c) separation number [SN]; (d) resolution; and
(e) acidity and basicity.  The performance mixture consists of ethylbenzene,
£-xylene, octane, decane, 1-octanol, nonanone, acetophenone, 2,6-dimethylphe-
nol and 2,6-dimethylaniline.  The performance mixture was used daily to
assess the capillary column's performance and develop historical data on its
performance as well  as to insure that the capillary continues to meet speci-
fied performance criteria for vapor-phase organic analysis.

     Gas chromatography negative ion chemical ionization/mass spectrometry/
computer (NICI) analysis of organic vapor phase compounds was demonstrated
to be a useful method.  The utility of this technique was exemplified with
the determination of halogen-containing compounds in complex atmospheric
samples.  The technique is useful for rapid screening of samples for the
presence of chlorinated, brominated and iodine-containing compounds.

     Studies were conducted on  ui situ reactions which potentially occur as
the result of the presence of criteria pollutants (ozone, NO, N02, NO  ),
molecular halogens and olefins  simultaneously occurring in the  atmospheres
samples.  Although ozonization  and halogenation of olefinic compounds were
detected when atmospheres containing reactive  inorganic gases and molecular
halogens were collected on sorbent cartridges, the problems associated  with
these reactions were considerably reduced below the  detection limit when the
particulate filter was impregnated with sodium thiosulfate.  Ozonization of
olefinic compounds was detected as well as  chlorination and bromination of
olefins.  However, difficulties exist  in discerning  between reactions  associa-
ted with the collection device  and those which are a  result of  a very  rapid
atmospheric reaction.  The primary in  situ  reaction  products that were

-------
detected when molecular chlorine was added to ambient air were chlorinated
cyclohexanes derived from eadogeneous cyclohexene.  Also bromofomt was a
principal reaction product when bromine was added to the ambient air.  The
use of deuterated compounds in studying ui situ reactions facilitates the
differentiation between endogenous, halogenated hydrocarbons and those which
are formed as a result of an in situ reaction when GC/MS is employed.  The
use of deuterated compounds is recommended when sampling reactive atmospheres
containing molecular halogens.  In all of the in situ reaction studies,
ozone appeared to play a role in facilitating these reactions while in its
absence they were considerably reduced.

     Quantification of selected organic compounds in ambient air requires
that the gas chromatographic/mass spectrometric/computer system be standardi-
zed in order to obtain reproducible and accurate data.  Research was conducted
to achieve reproducible and quantitative data from a mass spectrometer by
incorporating a number of criteria that were delineated to serve as guidelines
to achieve this objective.  Perfluorotoluene was used as a standard compound
to represent the m/z range of interest in the analysis and to insure that
the calibration of the mass spectrometer was within specified tolerances
(mass intensities) for an optimum standard spectrum.  A relationship between
the percent standard deviation (coefficient of variation) of the relative
molar response ratios as a function of the relative retention order for
selected organics was found and the highest degree of quantitative precision
was obtained for the elution of internal standards near the compounds of
interest.  The constancy of relative molar response ratios over the dynamic
mass (quantity) range of analysis was studied and found to be linear for the
WCOT capillaries which were developed and evaluated under this program.

     Several levels of compound identification have been delineated which
defines the degree of certainty of the identify of an organic compound.  The
five levels of identification were:   (1) computer identification [lowest
level of certainty]; (2) manual interpretation; (3) manual interpretation
plus retention times/boiling point of compound; (4) manual interpretation
plus retention times of authentic compound; and (5) level (4) plus independent
confirmation techniques.

                               RECOMMENDATIONS
     During the course of this research program, a number of areas have come
to light which require further attention.  Four major phases of research
should be expanded and pursued:

     (1)  Further evaluation of capillary columns should be conducted for
          the analysis of hazardous [amtagenie, carcinogenic, toxic]  subs-
          tances collected from the ambient air.  These evaluations should
          include the examination of the flexible fused silica columns
          coated with non-polar, semi-polar and polar phases.  Also,  narrow
          bore vs. wide-bore capillaries and thin film vs.  thick films
          should be examined according to the performance criteria specified
          in this report.  Research should be conducted on the selection of
          an adequate polar phase for the analysis of polar vapor-phase
          organics in ambient air.

     (2)  Research effort should be devoted to examining the optimum operating
          parameters for negative and positive chemical ionization of vapor
          phase organics.  Research into a variety of reagent gases available
          for use in chemical ionization should be conducted to ascertain
          the possibility of developing operating parameters which are
          selective for chemical classes as well as enhanced sensitivity.
          Because negative ion chemical ionization is a relatively new tool,
          this area of research appears to be virgin and requires considerable
          study to fully utilize the selectivity and high sensitivity of
          this method.

     (3)  Additional studies are recommended on potential in situ reactions
          associated with the Tenax GC collection device.  Particular emphasis
          should be placed on the potential artifacts which may occur under
          field sampling conditions and, if any problems exist, to delineate
          procedures which might deplete or scavenge the reactive gases
          prior to the collection of the organic vapor-phase fraction.

and  (4)  The use of deuterated internal standards should be developed for
          the quantitative collection and analysis of vapor-phase organics.
          Techniques for the sparging of ambient air with deuterated com-
          pounds during the sampling period should be developed in order to
          provide a means for the assessment of the collection efficiency
          and recovery of vapor-phase organics as well as to uncover any

-------
potential in situ reactions which might have occurred during am-
bient air sampling.

                             PROGRAM OBJECTIVES
     The overall broad term objective was to evaluate methodology encompassing
the use of a solid sorbent collection device for the collection of vapor-phase
organics in combination with gas chromatography/mass spectronetry/computer
for their analysis.  The specific aims of this program were to evaluate thas
methodology while applying it to 10 different sites within the Continental
U.S.  The limitations and the overall analysis capability were documented
with research improvements to be implemented to correct any uncovered defici-
encies.  This program was divided into four general objectives:

     (1)  To collect and analyze samples from one site for a minimum of 4-5
          days to obtain qualitative and/or quantitative data concerning
          selected vapor-phase organics occurring in ambient air.  These
          data were to be reduced and presented in reports to the Project
          Officer and any improvements in the analytical methodology necessary
          to achieve the desired results were to be documented prior to the
          next site visit.  Additional sites were to be visited in sequence
          with essentially the same format:  namely, effecting what improve-
          ments were necessary to maximize analysis capability.  During
          field evaluation of techniques qualitative and quantitative analysis
          of ambient air samples for selected constituents was also to be
          performed.

     (2)  To summarize the overall analysis capability highlighting and
          recommending innovations or revisions in the methodology made as
          a result of the test studies conducted while applying the capability
          at the sites visited.

     (3)  To provide a listing of suspected toxic pollutants which were
          identified in ambient air samples.  Particular emphasis was to be
          placed upon known or suspected carcinogens and profiling these
          pollutants endemic to each site as they were studied.

and  (4)  To transfer the latest technological improvements developed under
          this research program to the on-going EPA in-house research ef-
          fort.  To furnish any necessary hardware and/or technology and to
          demonstrate the operation of the methodology for the EPA's in-house
          function.

-------
As part of this objective, full documentation was to be provided for the new
technical developments or modifications made as a result of the evaluation
of the basic GC/MS/computer analysis system.

   PREPARATION OF WIDE BORE WCOT COLUMNS FOR ORGANIC VAPOR-PHASE ANALYSIS


GENERAL OBJECTIVES

     One of the objectives of this program has been to improve on the glass
capillary technology which is used in the basic GC/MS method for analysis of
vapor-phase organics in ambient air.  Problems associated with the columns
previously employed such as SE-30 or OV-101 coated SCOT columns have been
the extraordinary adsorption of polar organic components which are collected
and thermally desorbed from the Tenax GC sampling cartridge.  In general the
SCOT columns were adequate for the analysis of non-polar and semi-polar
materials, e.g., alkanes, aliyl aromatics, halogenated hydrocarbons and
oxygenated compounds such as aldehydes and ketones.  However, with the more
polar substances these columns exhibited a high degree of adsorption during
chromatography of low levels (ppt) of organics.  This problem is unacceptable
for two reasons.  First, it precludes the chromatography of acidic compounds
such as phenols and bases.  Secondly, when adsorption of organics on the
capillary column becomes significant, then the use of relative molar response
factors becomes invalid.  This is due to the noa-linearity of response when
chromatographing low quantities of organics.  For accurate usage of relative
molar response factors, linearity of response over the dynamic range of
interest and the extrapolation of the response curves through an intercept
of zero is necessary.

     In addition to the problem of adsorption on SCOT capillaries, the
reproducible preparation of the SCOT capillary with silanized fumed silicon
dioxide as the support has been difficult.  The quality of commercially
available material has varied from batch to batch.  The quality control
steps employed in our laboratory for the preparation of SCOT capillaries
requires testing the silanized fumed silicon dioxide with a solution of
methyl red to ascertain whether it is neutral.  This simple test has revealed
batch to batch variations.

     For these reasons, an investigation into the preparation of wide bore
WCOT columns for the analysis of organic vapor-phase compounds was instituted.
Furthermore, while retaining capacity, the resolution of these columns is
superior to the SCOT.  This section discusses the characteristics of WCOT
columns, their preparation, performance, and their application to the analysis
of vapor-phase organics in the ambient air (Section 8).

-------
INTRODUCTION TO WCOTS

     There are several arguments for preparing capillaries in a research
laboratory.  Among these arguments are that they offer an opportunity for
investigators to acquire a better understanding of this basic tool.  It also
allows for more useful applications of the technique to a variety of problems
which otherwise would be limited to what is commercially available.  Finally
one of the major advantages is that the full usage of this technique is
possible since the researcher may tailor-make the capillary to fit a specific
analytical problem.

     A discussion of glass capillary technology is presented which has been
synthesized from a number of literature sources with the major contributions
from K. Grob's laboratory (7).

Characteristics of Glass/Quartz

     Among the merits of glass/quartz vs. metal as a support or container
for the stationary phase are that it is:  (1) transparent; (2) readily
available; and (3) offers a variety of approaches for the modification of
the surface for tailor-making columns.  However, it is not without its
problems since quartz is ill-defined and can be considered as a "quasi-liquid"
material, i.e., there is always some internal diffusion of metal ions.  It
has been demonstrated that the leaching of heavy metal ions from the surface
of glass (soft and pyrex) is only a temporary solution since after a period
of time and particularly at elevated temperatures, the heavy metal ions
migrate from the internal matrix to the surface (5).  However, it is still
necessary to remove metal ions from the surface since they can be involved
in catalytic decomposition of organics during chromatography.  Thus, all
glass materials must be pretreated by a method which leaches the calcium,
magnesium, iron, boron and lead that occur with different types of glasses.

     A variety of glass types are available.  In fact, this is one of the
major disadvantages with the use of glass as a container.  In general pyrex
glass can be considered to be acidic, brittle and more compact in structure
than soft glass which is generally basic, has a more open structure and is
relatively stable mechanically.  Because of the open structure of the soft
glass, the tendency for metal ions to migrate in the matrix is greater than
with pyrex.  Fused silica has the lowest quantity of metal ions (6).

Requirement of Column Preparation

     There are three general requirements in the preparation of wall coated
open tubular columns:  (1) achieving wettability; (2) good deactivation; and
(3) high thermal stability.  During the preparation of coated glass capillary
columns, it is important that the film of stationary phase is homogeneous
throughout the open tubular column since this gives the highest separation
efficiency.  When drops or pools of stationary phase fora a reduced efficiency
is observed.  The glass surface must be entirely deactivated, i.e., there
are no active sites which can participate in catalysis or adsorption.
Deactivation includes removal of metal ions and chemically shielding polar
groups (e.£., silanol).  When a homogeneous film and good deactivation are

                                      10

-------
achieved, then the column will exhibit excellent thermal stability and high
efficiencies.

     There are two principal forms of wetting (7).  The first involves inter-
molecular forces between the stationary phase and the glass vail.  This
constitutes "chemical" wettability.  It nay be achieved through hydro-
gen bonding, n-n interactions or Van der Waals forces.  The use of the 0
charge transfer such as observed with nitrile bonding has often failed to
provide chemical wettability.  A second type of wettability is "topographic"
or "geometric".  Essentially this constitutes the roughening of the surface
to produce a lower contact angle between the stationary phase and the glass
surface.  The topographic wetting produces a "quasi-film"; a reduced effi-
ciency is observed.  In practice a combination of the two forms to achieve
wetting may be necessary; however, this is dictated by the interaction
between the phase and the glass capillary wall.  For example, with an
apolar phase a smooth inactive surface is sufficient.  With a moderately
polar stationary phase, a roughened surface that has been inactivated is
generally the best compromise.  Finally, with polar stationary phases, a
rough and active surface allows for the best wetting or most homogeneous
film.

     There are two generally accepted procedures for the deactivation of the
glass surface.  The first involves the production of a "surface bonded
layer" of polar compounds with a glass wall.  This is achieved by using com-
pounds such as Carbowaxes, triethanolamines, etc.  The advantages of this
approach is that the deactivation is an easy step to execute and deactiva-
tion can be selective for specific compound types.  The disadvantage occurs
in its thermal stability where the upper limit is "-2500C with the Carbowax
20M method.  The second procedure for deactivation involves silylation.  The
greatest advantage of this approach is in its thermal stability which can be
>350°C.  The problem associated with silylation is that the surface of the
silica needs to be properly prepared which is difficult and can result in
reduced efficiency because of poor film stability even when using apolar
phases.  The principal utility of silylation is obviously to eliminate the oxide
phase on the glass surface.  To be successful, it is necessary to maximize
the density of the silanol groups and minimize dehydration which occurs
inevitably during the drawing of glass capillaries because of the high
temperatures required to soften the glass.  Also it is necessary to remove
excess water prior to instituting the reaction.  In general, the best results
are obtained with hexamethyldisilazane which has been reported by Grob
(7).

     One of the principal approaches developed by Grob for roughening the
surface of a glass wall is the "barium carbonate method".  This approach is
for roughening only and not deactivating the glass column.  The primary
purpose of a roughened surface is to increase the thermal stability of the
stationary film.  The extent of the roughening is controlled by the starting
concentration of barium hydroxide which is converted to barium carbonate
crystals via C02 gas.  For polar phases, a saturated solution is employed
while a 1:5 and 1:30 dilution is used for moderately polar and apolar sta-
tionary phases, respectively.  According to Grob  (7) the orientation of
the barium carbonate crystals is important for the production of a highly

                                       11

-------
efficient column.  For example glass surfaces which have not been leached to
remove ions yield barium carbonate needles standing in an erect position
while a leached glass surface produces needles lying down.  The barium
carbonate roughened surface of a glass open tubular column can be considered
as slightly basic; however,when using a highly diluted barium hydroxide
solution with an extensively leached surface, it will be slightly acidic.

     Other methods of roughening such as the etching of soft glasses produces
sodium chloride crystals; however, these are less stable to the presence of
water in the samples while not being any more active than barium carbonate
crystals.  The production of sodium chloride crystals is less reproducible
than production of barium carbonate (7).

Coating Methods

     There are three fundamental methods for coating a stationary phase on
the surface of a glass capillary column.  These are static, static/forced
evaporation, and dynamic.  The static method simply involves filling of
glass capillary column with the stationary phase dissolved in an appropriate
solvent at a concentration whereupon after evaporating the solvent, the
stationary film is formed at an exactly predictable thickness.  Upon filling
the capillary, one end is sealed and then a vacuum is applied to the open
end.

     The forced evaporation method has been described by several investigators
(7).  The column after filling is sealed at one end and the open end is
screwed through a heated zone which vaporizes the phase/solvent mixture.
The stationary phase is "sprayed" and adheres to the surface of the glass.

     The dynamic method requires pushing a plug of stationary phase/solvent
mixture through the capillary using a mercury plug behind the coating solution.
The film thickness produced depends upon the viscosity of the solution and
the velocity used.  The deposited film is subject to evaporation-condensation
of the solvent as it passes through the capillary.  The technique generally
cannot be used with gum-type phases.  The use of the mercury plug facilitates
the dynamic coating method; however, some solvents such as acetone are not
suitable (7).

Column Evaluation

     During the evaluation of glass capillary columns, documentation of
performance is required for:  (1) adsorption  [by the use of polar test
compounds]; (2) acidity/basicity  [by the use of acid and base in the test
mixture); (3) separation efficiency [by the use of a pair of homologs which
do not adsorb]; and (4) film thickness  [which is related to capacity and is
established by the elution temperature for a reference standard component].

     Adsorption characteristics can be expressed in two ways.  The first may
be exhibited by a process which produces tailing or broad chromatographic
peaks with an incorrect area for  the compound relative to the amount that
was chromatographed.  In the second case, adsorption may be expressed by a
perfectly symmetrical chromatographic peak; however, the area is reduced

                                       12

-------
with respect to that which theoretically should have been obtained for the
amount chromatographed.  Thus, reduced sensitivity is observed.  In the
first case, the adsorption may occur via a mechanism which is reversible
whereas in the second it is not.

     Adsorption expressed as chrotnatograptvic peak tailing may be traced to
active sites in the column which may be due to hydrogen bonding, n-n inter-
action, or complexation with metal impurities.  A test mixture which con-
tains 1-octanol, a-nonanone, and naphthalene facilitates the differentiation
of these types of adsorption.  Adsorption undergoing the second mechanism
generally can be attributed to acidity or basicity of the column.  To detect
these properties, 2,6-dimethylaniline and 2,6-dinethylphenol are often used.
However, these compounds only reveal relatively strong acid/base characteris-
tics of the capillary.  To demonstrate weakly acidic and basic characteristics
in a chromatographic column, 2-ethylhexanoic acid and dicyclohexylamine may
be used (7).

MATERIALS AND METHODS

Drawing Capillaries

     Glass capillaries were drawn from 1.22 m lengths of pyrex glass (8 mm
o.d. x 4 mm i.d.) to yield an internal diameter of either 0.36 ami or 0.47 mm
using a Hupe and Busch (Hewlett-Packard Corp., Avondale, PA) or Shimadzu
(Seisakusho LTD, Koyoto, Japan) drawing machines.  The pyrex glass tube was
washed with 50 ml each of IN HC1, water and dried with acetone prior to
drawing.

Pretreataent of Capillaries

Acid Leaching—
     To produce-a pure silica surface by eliminating any oxide layer and to
produce a maximum density of silanol groups, acid leaching was performed on
the capillary.  The capillary column was filled with 20% HC1 by introducing
the HC1 solution into  10% of the total capillary length.  An inert gas (N2)
was used to force the HC1 solution through the capillary and the process was
continued until 2% of  the solution remained in the capillary.  The filled
end of the capillary was flame  sealed and the open end connected to a
vacuum source.  A vacuum was created in the capillary for "-5 min and the end
was flame sealed prior to disconnecting the vacuum.  The capillary was then
heated at 180°C for ^18 h.  Upon cooling, the capillary was opened at both
ends and the remaining HC1 solution was slowly displaced by introducing
distilled water which  filled ^25% of the capillary volume.  Immediately
following the water plug, an equal volume of methanol was introduced.

     Capillaries designated for the BaC03 method were heated for 5 h at
260-280°C under a low  flow of nitrogen gas (e.g., 0.2 ata/50 m length).  For
capillaries to be silanized, the glass column was heated to 250°C with both
open ends connected to a vacuum source  (water aspirator) outside the oven.
The column was heated  for 13 h  (for US pyrex  glass).
                                      13

-------
Barium Carbonate Roughened Surface--
     Solutions of Ba(OH)2 (Bl-saturated, B2-l:5 of saturation, and B3-l:30
of saturation each containing 4, 2 and 1 ppm of Marlazin L10, respectively)
were prepared.

     Into ^5 coils of the previously HC1 leached and dehydrated capillaries,
0.5% HC1 was drawn.  The appropriate Ba(OH)2 reagent (31-B3) was drawn into
10 coils of the capillary with an air plug interposed between the HC1 and
Ba(OH)2 solutions.  An air plug was then also introduced at the rear end of
the Ba(OH)2 solution (inlet end of the capillary) O20 cm long for Bl and B2
and 50 cm for B3).  While protecting the column from temperature gradients,
C02 gas was flushed into the capillary to move the solutions at a rate of
1.5 - 2 cm/sec (25-30 sec/40 cm coil).  Care was instituted to prevent the
interruption of the carbon dioxide flow.  The exit end of the capillary was
connected to a "buffer" column of a similar internal diameter and ^5-10 m
in length.  As soon as the rear meniscus of a Ba(OH}2 solution entered into
the buffer column, the C02 gas supply was replaced by an inert gas such as
nitrogen at a pressure of 0.2 atm.  After M.O nin, or when the C02 was
flushed from the column, acetone was introduced into ^25% of the column
length at a rate of 2-3 cm/sec (15-20 sec/40 on coil) and passed through to
dry it.  Vacuum was applied to one end for 5 oin and the column was then
dried in an oven at 280°C for 30 min at 0.3-0.5 atm of N2.

     For glass capillaries treated with the Bl solution, the capillary was
directly coated with polar stationary phases.  For the B2 treated columns,
further preparation was necessary.  The glass capillary was quickly rinsed
with a 1% solution of Carbowax 1000 in CH2C12 at a rate of 20 sec/coil.
Both ends of the capillary were connected to a vacuum source via a tee and
the vacuum applied for 5 min.  Both ends of the column were then flame
sealed prior to disconnecting the vacuum source.  The capillary was heated
to 280°C for 18 h.  Upon cooling, the ends were cut and fire polished and
rinsed with methylene chloride.  The glass capillary column containing BaC03
from B2 treatment was then ready for coating with moderately polar phases
such as OV-17 and nitrile phases.

     For capillaries prepared with the 83 Ba(OH)2 solution, the columns were
quickly rinsed with 0.1% solution of Triton 300 in C^Cla-  A vacuum was
applied to one end for 5 min.  With the application of a 0.2 ata pressure of
inert carrier gas (N2), the capillary was then heated to 250°C for 30 min.
Upon cooling, the capillary was then rinsed with CH2C12 and dried under N2
flow.  This column was then ready for coating with apolar phases.

Reactivation by Silanization—
     To produce essentially a totally non-adsorptive and non-catalytic
surface with extreme heat stability in capillaries, a silanization technique
was employed.  Hexamethyldisilazane (Applied Science, State College, PA) was
drawn into a dehydrated capillary until ^10% of the capillary length was
filled with the reagent.  Using a head pressure of N2 gas, the reagent was
pushed through the capillary at a rate of ^2 cm/sec.  No buffer column was
employed.  When the reagent had passed through the capillary, the gas supply
was immediately disconnected and a vacuum was applied to both ends via a
tee.  A vacuum was applied for "*5 oin for a 20 m length (10 min for 50 m

                                      14

-------
and 15 oin for 75 m).  Both ends of the capillary were flame sealed prior to
disconnecting the vacuum.  The capillary was then heated to 400°C for 12 h.

     The degree of silanization is checked by breaking one of the ends of
the capillary under toluene.  When a few coils were filled with toluene from
the vacuum, the column was switched to methanol and then to ether.  When the
front end of the toluene plug ceased to move, the length of the empty tubing
was noted.  As a general rule, 5-10% of the total length which remains empty
indicates mild silanization while 20-50% of an empty column indicates heavy
silanization.  The second end of the capillary was opened and the liquids
were forced through the capillary by applying S2 gas to the end which contai-
ned ether.  Various intensity of silanization produces powdery plugs which
can impair movement.  The problem can be overcome by gently warming the
plugged area with a small flame.  The capillary was then ready for coating
with apolar phases.

Coatiag Techniques

'Static—
     The coating solution was prepared according to the desired film thickness
(FT).  This is given by the following relationship:

                              FT (pM) = 0.25 D  (mm) x C.

     where     0 = the internal diameter,
               C = the concentration of phase in parts-per-thousand  (W/V)

For apolar and polar stationary phases, n-pentane and oethylene chloride
were the solvents used, respectively.  In all cases the solutions were
freshly prepared except for gum phases which were allowed to sit  for "*4 hrs
after mixing with the solvent.

     One end of  the  capillary column was inserted through a silicone rubber
fitting into the coating solution.  The bottle  containing the coating solution
was connected to a source of N2 gas at M).5  ato, and the capillary was
filled with  coating  solution and flushed with an additional 25%  (of  column
length) with coating solution.  The gas pressure then was reduced to 0.1  atai
and the exit end of  the column was  inserted  into water glass.  This  procedure
insures that small air bubbles are  flushed  from the column end.   The inlet
end of the capillary was then removed from  the  bottle containing  the coating
solution.  A low pressure was applied to the inlet end to push  the meniscus
of the water glass to a  few cm from the end.  The pressure was  then  disconnec-
ted.  The water  glass bottle was tilted in  such a way that the  column end
was located  in  the water glass and  not contaminated with coating  solution.
A low vacuum was immediately applied to the  inlet end to move the meniscus
1-2 cm.  The exit  end was  removed  from the  water glass and immediately  the
excess water glass was wiped from  the capillary end.  The water  glass and
interface  to the coating solution  were checked  for gas bubbles.   In  the
event that there were any,  the procedure was repeated by  cutting  the water
glass plug and  applying  low pressure  to the  inlet end.  This method  of
sealing was  conducted in order to  avoid the introduction  of air  bubbles

between the water glass and the coating solution.  The column was then
allowed to sit for 6-3 h or overnight prior to evaporation of the solvent.

     The capillary column was inserted into a water bath at room temperature
with both ends ~6 on out of the bath.  The open end of the capillary was
then attached to a vacuum source  (water aspirator) and a low vacuum was
initially applied and then a higher vacuum when the solvent meniscus had
moved to the interior of the capillary.  For capillaries >50 o in length the
water bath was slowly heated to 40°C over a 1 h period.

     Once the solvent had evaporated the closed end was opened.  The vacuum
was continued for a few minutes and then disconnected.  The capillary was
then prepared for installation.

Static/Forced Evaporation—
     The coating of glass capillaries using a forced evaporation technique
has been previously reported (3).

Dynamic—
     Into an empty glass capillary column, a plug of coating solution was
drawn (10-15 coils).  Immediately following the coating solution, a 10 cm
plug of mercury was also drawn.  Then the column was subjected to a gas
pressure head at the end containing the mercury plug and the mercury plug
was pushed through the column at a rate "»1 min/turn.  A buffer column was
attached to the other end of the capillary in order to maintain a uniform
velocity of the coating solution.  During the dynamic coating process, the
capillary was also protected from temperature gradients.

Preparation of Capillary Ends for Installation

     Straightening of capillary ends which had been coated with stationary
phase was accomplished by using oxygen or air flowing through the column
during the straightening process.  Prior to straightening, capillaries
containing film thicknesses of 0.8-1.0 microns were washed free of phase by
introducing solvent into 1-1 1/2 coils of the column using a 100 pL syringe.
This step was also performed under a positive pressure.  Straightening was
accomplished by slowly rotating the capillary into a small microflame (1/2-1"
in length), allowing gravity to pull the softened glass.  The column ends
were flamed to avoid problems with insertion through ferrules or septa.

     Hexane was used to remove silicone oils and gums from columns which had
been straightened while CHjClj was used for Carbowaxes and other polar
phases.   Injection and withdrawal was repeated three times.  The capillary
ends were then deactivated by introducing a solution of 0.1% Carbowax 1000
in CH2C12-

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Performance Criteria

     The glass capillary columns were evaluated according to the following
criteria:

                                      16

-------
     (1)  percent  peak  asymmetry  factor  (PAF)

                              I  PAF = | x 100



     where  B =  the  area  of the back half of a  chromatographic peak
           F -  area of the front half of the chromatograpbic  peak both
               measured  10% above baseline

     (2)  effective  Height Equivalent to a Theoretical Plate (HETPgff)


                                   off  =           1
                                   611    5.54 (X/Yr

     where  X =  the  corrected retention  distance for sweep time of the  com-
               pound,
           Y =  chromatographic peak width at 1/2 peak height,
           L =  column  length (mm)

     (3)  separation number (SN)

                              SN = „ D ,.  -1
     where D = the distance between two peaks,
           W.,W  = widths at 1/2 height

     (4) resolution (R)
                                   2 A W
                              R =
     where AW = average base width,
            W = peak width at base.

     (5)  Acidity and Basicity
                           . .    _ weak base (peak area or height)
                               y - acet0pneilone (peak area or height)

                        _        _ weak acid (peak area or height)
                         asici y - acet0pnenone (peafe area or height)
     These criteria were used to assess the preparation of a number of glass
capillary columns to delineate a systematic method for discerning the utility
of glass capillary columns for ambient air pollution analysis.  Performance
criteria are necessary in order to provide quality control and quality
assurance on the analysis of ambient air samples utilizing GC/MS/COMP with
glass capillary columns.  An important aspect of analysis with glass capillary
columns is the continual assessment of the performance of a new column as it
ages in order to discern when the column is no longer useful for this type
of analysis.  The criteriona of percent peak asymmetry factor has been
incorporated as a quality control step in the selection and usage of

                                      17

-------
capillary columns for ambient air pollution qualitative and quantitative
analysis.  The compounds which have been selected for assessing the performance
of the columns are:  1-octanol, 5-aonanone and acetophenone.  The use of
these compounds provides information as to the degree of adsorption and the
type of adsorption mechanisms during the interactions between solute molecules
and the glass capillary wall.  1-Octanol serves as a means of determining
the extent of deactivation of the glass surface and principally singles out
adsorption due to hydrogen bonding.  The hydrogen bonding which may occur
results from incomplete deactivation of the silanol groups on a glass
surface.  Furthermore, the use of 5-nonanone assesses the extent of adsorp-
tion occurring from a n-n adsorption mechanism.  Finally, adsorption of
acetophenone incorporates the characteristics of 5-nonanone plus the aroma-
tic n ring system of acetophenone which assist in the determination of the
extent of the adsorption due to the presence of metal impurities on the
glass surface.

     The acidity and basicity of the capillary column are assessed by the
adsorption of weak bases and acids, respectively.  This performance test in-
volves the chromatography of 2,6-dimethylaniline and 2,6-dimethylphenol and
their respective peak areas  (or heights) are ratioed to the peak area for
acetophenone.  Thus if the percent asymmetry factor is low for acetophenone
(<250%)', then the acidity and basicity of the column can be assessed using
this relationship.  In particular the capillary columns prepared by the barium
carbonate procedure exhibit  a slight basicity and thus the irreversible adsorp-
tion of 2,6-dimethylphenol is observed.

     Finally the resolution  and separation number of a column is determined in
order to insure that the complex ambient air pollution mixture can be adequately
resolved for the qualitative and quantitative analysis to be performed.  For  this
purpose, the resolution between ethylbenzene and £-xylene and the separation
number for octane and decane are determined.

Case Examples of Performance Evaluation of Glass Capillary Columns

     Table 1 presents the results for the evaluation of a commercial glass
capillary column.  The resolution, separation number, percent asymmetry factor
and acidity and basicity of  the column are given.  In general the column
exhibits very low adsorption characteristics and is acceptable for the
analysis of semi-polar compounds.  The column exhibits slight acidity.  The
resolution as measured for ethylbenzene and £-xylene is *l while the separa-
tion number is 50.  Figure 1 presents the chromatogram obtained utilizing
the operating parameters for the GC/MS/COMP system given  in Section 8.  The
performance mixture contained perfluorobenzene, perfluorotoluene, ethyl-
benzene, £-xylene, octane, decane, 1-octanol, 5-nonanone, acetophenone, 2,6-
dimethylaniline and 2,6-dimethylphenol which were loaded  onto Tenax GC
sampling cartridges and then thermally desorbed using the standard condi-
tions described in Section 8.  The commercial  capillary was an SE-30 wall
coated open tubular with the dimensions of 0.5 mm i.d. x  27 m in length.
The film thickness was 0.41  microns.  Figures  2-11 present  the single  ion
plots for the components in  the performance mixture.

     Table 2 presents the performance obtained for a glass capillary column
prepared by the barium carbonate procedure.  In this case the column was 75
m in length and contained a 1 micron film thickness of SE-30.  The capillary
ml mm was evaluated immediately after its preparation and continually for a
period of six months and the performance was calculated for this entire
period of time and the standard deviation included.  A column length of 75 m
has been found to be required to obtain sufficient resolution and separation
of the complex mixtures obtained from ambient air.  It is suggested that the
resolution and separation number of the column be at least 1.3 and 70,
respectively.  It is the experience of this laboratory that this is the
minimum requirement to obtain adequate information on the qualitative and
quantitative aspects of ambient air mixtures.

     For the analysis of semi-polar compounds, the percent peak asymmetry
factor should be at a minimum within the ranges specified in Table 2.  For
more polar compounds, the performance of the column must be far superior.

     Figures 12-16 provide the extracted ion current profiles for the various
ions of the component in the performance mixtures used in calculating the
performance criteria.

     Similar evaluation was conducted for the Grob silanized type glass
capillaries.  The results were superior with respect to the percent asymmetry
factor for these compounds and the capillaries exhibited better non-basicity
characteristics.  However, it is not known what the lifespan of the Grob
silanized column will be under continual usage for the analysis of ambient
air pollutants utilizing Tenax GC cartridges followed by thermal desorption.
The barium carbonate columns deactivated using Carbowax 20M and coated with
SE-30 have proven to be versatile and rugged for this application.  Several
columns have been prepared and have exhibited lifespans of 6-9 months.

     For the purpose of maintaining quality control during the analysis of
ambient air samples using the cartridge technique, it is recommended that
these performance criteria be adopted and that the performance mixture be
loaded onto the Tenax cartridge utilizing the flash evaporation technique
described in Section 8 with the performance mixture analyzed on a daily
basis.  In this manner historical documentation of the performance of the
entire system including thermal desorption, chromatography and transfer to
the ion source can be developed and recorded.  The incorporation of perfluoro-
toluene in the performance mixture serves the purpose of checking the mass
intensity calibration of the instrument under scanning capillary chromato-
graphy.  The use of perfluorotoluene for calibration of mass and intensity
is dicussed in Section 8.

      CAS CHROMATOGRAPHY/NEGATIVE CHEMICAL IONIZATION MASS SPECTROMETRY/
                  COMPUTER ANALYSIS OF AMBIENT AIR SAMPLES
INTRODUCTION

     The prevalence of halogenated hydrocarbons in the environment is well
documented.  In ambient air alone, over 250 halocarbons have been identified
by glass capillary GC/MS/computer.  In a single air sample, often 10-50
halogenated hydrocarbons may be present along with the large number of other
organic vapor-phase compounds.  Because of their wide spread occurrence and
the need for improvements in the selectivity of analysis for halogenated
compounds in ambient air, the technique of negative chemical ionization mass
spectrometry was investigated as a potential method for their analysis.  The
collection device (Tenax GC) employed in the collection of organic vapor
phase compounds from ambient air is highly efficient since in a sample over
200 organic compounds are routinely detected.  With the advent of an additio-
nal sorbent to collect the more volatile vapor-phase organics for which
Tenax GC is not suitable, an extremely complex mixture of compounds will be
presented to the GC/MS/computer system.  In order to improve upon the selec-
tivity of analysis negative chemical ionization mass spectrometry was investi-
gated as a potential technique for halogenated compounds.  Ultimately,
examination of negative chemical ionization (NCI) for measuring other chemical
classes through the judicious selection of reagent gases is a subject of
future investigations.

     Electron capture in itself is a relatively old detection mode and has
been well studied.  The series of potential non-dissociative and dissociative
reactions which can occur between a thermal energy electron and an organic
molecule possessing an appreciable electron capturing affinity has been
reviewed (9).  These reactions are extremely important not only to the
understanding and utilization of  the electron capture detector as a detector
for gas chromatography, but also  in NCI mass spectrometry.  Whether the
mechanism of electron capture is one of a dissociative or non-dissociative
nature depends upon the ability of the molecules to distribute the electron
charge via a resonance mechanism  in the parent molecule or via resonance in
a product ion.  In general, molecules which undergo dissociative electron
capture exhibit higher sensitivity than those which are non-dissociative.
Furthermore, as one increases the temperature the sensitivity also increases
for those molecules which undergo a dissociative mechanism.  Conversely the
temperature sensitive relationship is inversely proportional for non-dissocia-
tive type mechanisms.  In this section the new technique of NCI is briefly
examined as a potential tool  for  the selective detection of halogenated

                                     38

hydrocarbons.  Furthermore its potential as a tool for rapidly screening for
the presence of halogenated hydrocarbons in ambient air samples is presented.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

Sampling

     The collection of vapor phase organics from ambient air is described
under Section 8.  Replicate samples which served as backup samples for those
subjected to conventional electron impact capillary GC/MS/computer analysis
were submitted to NCI analysis.

Instrumental Methods

     An LKB Model 2091 GC/MS system was used in these studies.  The mass
spectrometer was equipped with a POP/11-04 32K central processor computer
system.  The data system contained a dual 24 million byte disk system,
nine-track Pertec IBM-compatible magnetic tape drive, a Versatec 800A
printer/plotter, an operator console and a Tektronix 4012 display.  The
GC/MS system was equipped with a Pye-Unicam 104 gas chromatograph and a dual
ionization source for electron impact  (El) and chemical ionization.  A
single stage Becker-Ryhage separator interfaced the GC to the mass spectrome-
ter.  Scan speeds (either parabolic or  exponential) of 1-2 sec/mass decade
were used.

     The operational parameters for NCI GC/MS analysis are given in Table 3.
The recovery of vapor-phase organics collected on Tenax GC cartridges was
achieved using standard operating parameters.  The chromatographic column
was a 75 m glass SE-30 coated wide bore barium carbonate WCOT  (Section 5).

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

     Negative chemical ionization mass  spectrometry has great potential in
the analysis of vapor phase organics collected from ambient  air.  A case
example exhibiting  its utility is exemplified for  an ambient air sample
using El and NCI.   The Tenax GC sampling cartridge was utilized to collect
vapor-phase  organics for  the subsequent analysis by negative chemical ioniza-
tion.  Figure 17 depicts  a GC/MS/COMP  profile obtained by thermal desorptioa
of the Tenax GC cartridge using electron impact.   Well over  100 compounds
were observed.  However, when  a corresponding duplicate sample was analyzed
utilizing the same  technique except  for operating  the mass spectrometer  in
the NCI mode, the results shown in Figure  18 were  obtained.  These results
represent a  sample  taken  upwind from an industrial area in Deer Park, TX
(see Section 8).  Representated are  the reconstructed  ion intensities for
35C1,  37C1,  79Br and 8lBr.  By noting  the  chromatographic peaks at specific
retention times, the number and combination  of chlorine and  bromine atoms  in
a  molecule  are  clearly evident.  Figure 19 depicts a profile for  an ambient
air sample  taken downwind from the  same industrial area in Deer Park, TX.
In addition to  the  compounds which were detected  in  the upwind samples,
several  new compounds  are also detected in the downwind sample.

     The power of this technique is exemplified in the specificity and
sensitivity which is not afforded in El mode.  As can be seen from these
data, the intensity of each of the peaks which corresponds to halogenated
hydrocarbons is much greater than in the electron impact mode.  The technique
is on an average of 2-3 orders of magnitude more sensitive than electron
impact.  Furthermore, NCI/MS provides considerable specificity which is
mandatory for the analysis of vapor-phase organics in ambient air if elaborate
purification methods are to be circumvented.  Extensive purification of an
ambient air sample is precluded by the high volatility of the compounds and
severe losses would occur in the transfer step(s).

     The utility of this method is apparent for the analyst who is interested
in halogenated hydrocarbons in the environment.  This tool is extremely
beneficial for the preliminary quick screening of samples collected in a
geographical area for which little information exists on the qualitative or
quantitative composition of the atmosphere.  By judiciously selecting samples
collected surrounding a geographical area it is possible to quickly ascertain
the significant halogenated compounds present by using NCI.  This technique
circumvents labor intensive steps which otherwise would be necessary using
El when searching for halogenated hydrocarbons in complex organic vapor-phase
mixtures.  A quick inspection such as exemplified by Figures 18 and 19
allows the analyst to quickly ascertain the number and magnitude of the
halogenated hydrocarbons potentially present in the ambient air samples.
The alternate conventional method of El analysis requires the examination of
all data generated for identification and/or detection of halogenated com-
pounds.  The level of effort necessary with this approach can be as much as
5-10 times greater than by simply analyzing a replicate sample by NCI  and
reconstructing the m/z isotopic profiles for chlorine, bromine, iodine and
fluorine.

     This technique was also applied to studies on in situ reactions occurring
between molecular halogens and organic vapors collected on Tenax GC XAD-4
and charcoal sorbents (see Section 7).

     In summary, the technique of capillary GC/NCIMS/COMP analysis of vapor-
phase organics offers a considerably faster method for detecting and for
potentially quantifying electron capturing substances present in ambient air
samples.   This serves as an improvement in the basic GC/MS/COMP analysis of
vapor-phase organics in air and its full potential use for this type of
analysis  still awaits full exploitation.

         IN SITU REACTION STUDIES ON SORBENTS USED FOR COLLECTION OF
                            VAPOR-PHASE ORGANICS
INTRODUCTION

     In previous reports, the detection, identification, and quantitation of
halogenated hydrocarbons in the ambient air have been described.  Ambient
air was sampled using a Tenax GC cartridge technique and sample analysis
employed high resolution (glass capillary) gas chromatography/oass spectrome-
try/computer (HRGC/MS/COMP) methods.  Since the beginning of the development
of this technique over 7 years ago, many halogenated hydrocarbons have been
identified and quantified in ambient air from several geographical regions
throughout the Continental U.S.

     In view of the potency in the broad spectrum of the carcinogenic activity
(in experimental animals) for the halogenated hydrocarbons identified, the
detection of these compounds in the atmosphere has generated considerable
interest in their origin.  Previous studies were initiated to determine
emission of halogenated hydrocarbons from stationary and fugitive sources as
well as their potential formation through photochemical reactions.

     In order to determine whether halogenated hydrocarbons may be present
in the atmosphere from industrial sources or as products of atmospheric
chemical reactions, it is first necessary to know the extent to which these
compounds may form at trace levels as an "artifact" of the technique employed
or the sample collection process.

     The primary concern has been with the use of the Tenax GC sampling
cartridge which has been extensively employed for collecting organic vapor
from ambient air for characterization and quantification purposes.  Since
the Tenax GC cartridge may concentrate reactive compounds, including ozone,
NO  and, for example, molecular chlorine or bromine, in situ formation of
artifact compounds may occur even though inorganic gases do not appreciably
accumulate on the sorbent.  Thus the purpose of this study was to further
supplement previously reported observations, i-e., the in situ formation of
nitrosoamines and to determine whether other additional in situ reactions
could occur on the Tenax GC sampling cartridge under field sampling conditions.

     Because urban air often contains substantial concentrations of ozone
and NO , a limited number of laboratory experiments and to a greater extent
field experiments were performed to determine whether air containing these
gases might be more effective than air containing only olefins plus molecular

                                     45

-------
halogens.  Experiments were designed to delineate the transformation of
olefins (whether adsorbed cm sorbents or occurring in air) via homogeneous
or heterogeneous reactions which might take place on the walls of the sample
inlet tube or the sorbent bed itself.  In addition to the halogenation of
olefins (endogenous or exogenous in air) the possibility of reactions between
ozone and these olefins producing polar products to be considered as artifacts
of the collection process was investigated.

EXPERIMENTAL

Apparatus For Laboratory Studies

     The apparatus used to determine whether air containing ozone, olefins
and water might convert olefins to oxygenated products on Tenax GC (35/60
mesh, Applied Science Lab., State College, PA) is depicted in Figure 20.
Ozone was generated by an ultraviolet lamp equipped with a sliding cover for
obtaining different concentrations.  The concentration of ozone was measured
using a Bendix Ozone Analyzer.  The intake for this instrument was at the
same point as the intake for the Tenax GC glass cartridge sampler (6.0 cm
bed length x 1.5 cm i.d.) through which air was drawn by a Nutech Model 221A
(Nutech, Durham, KC) sampler.  The sampling cartridge and the analyzer inlet
tube were centered in the air flow pattern from the reaction tube.  Various
levels of relative humidity in the air stream were produced by changing the
temperature of the humidifier bath.

     Perdeuterated toluene and styrene were introduced to a Tenax GC sampling
cartridge as a discrete band at one end of the sorbent bed.  An air stream
containing ozone (200 ppb) was sampled.  Control cartridges consisted of a
blank (no deuterated compound) and deuterated compounds loaded onto Tenax GC
cartridges which were analyzed without exposure to ozone.

Preparation of Sorbent Cartridges

     Prior to its use, Tenax GC was purified by Soxhlet extraction for 13 h
with methanol and n-pentane, respectively.  After drying in a N2 atmosphere,
Tenax GC was heated to 150°C for 2 h in a vacuum oven (12" of water), sized
into a 35/60 range and packed into glass tubes (6.0 cnt bed length x 1.5 cm
i.d.).  All sample cartridges were preconditioned by heating to 275°C for 20
min under a helium purge of 20-30 mL/min.  While cooling in precleaned
Kimax  culture tubes, the containers were sealed to prevent contamination of
the cartridge.

Sample Analyses

HRGC/EI/MS--
     A Varian MAT CH-7 GC/MS with a 620 L computer system equipped with an
inlet manifold was used for analyzing Tenax GC cartridges where structural
confirmation was required.  The software programs available with this system
provide reconstructed gas chromatograms and extracted ion current profiles
for correlation between mass spectrum number and retention time.  Operating
parameters for the HRGC/MS/COMP system are given in Table 4.  A single stage

HRGC/NCI MS/COMP—
     Samples generated from laboratory and field in situ reaction studies
were analyzed by HRGC/NCIMS/COUP using the operating parameters previously
described (Section 6).

Field Sampling Experiments

Baton Rouge and Plaquemine, LA—
     Field artifact studies were conducted in Baton Rouge, LA and vicinity.
Table 5 presents the experimental design.  A schematic of the configurations
under examination in the artifact study is given in Figure 21.  In this
study we examined the potential bromination, chlorination and nitrosation of
endogenous atmospheric organics by employing a tandem arrangement (configura-
tion A, Fig. 21).  Ambient air (~120 L) was pulled through the glass fiber
filters and glass tubes followed by a cartridge containing the adsorbent,
Tenax GC.  The glass tube designated as T2 contained a permeation tube of
either bromine (^4 x 10" 7 g/min), chlorine (^1 x 10~6 g/min) or dimethylamine-
dg (7 x 10"7 g/min).  Thus, molecular halogen or dimethylamine-dg which
permeated at constant rates provided a constant sparging of the atmosphere
just prior to the adsorbent.  The corresponding parallel arrangement served
as a control (T}).  By examining independently the cartridges labeled AD
and ADg, it was possible to differentiate endogenous compounds from those
which were formed as an HI situ reaction.

Lake Charles, LA—
     A more in-depth study was performed on in situ reactions under field
sampling conditions and this experimental design is given in Table 6.  In
contrast to the studies which were conducted in Baton Rouge, this study
incorporated a second configuration (configuration B, Fig. 21) as well as
the comparison of treated (NajSaOs) and untreated glass fiber filters, and
teflon filters for the occurrence of in situ reactions.

Houston, TX--
     Table 7 presents the experimental design for the field in situ reaction
studies conducted in Houston, TX.  This study was repeated to provide a
greater diversity of industrial atmospheres while determining the effect of
molecular halogen on the endogenous hydrocarbon background present in the
atmosphere.  Also, cyclohexene-d10 and styrene-dg ("-1 pg each) were added to
Tenax cartridges prior to samples as a discrete band at one end of the
sampling bed.

Raleigh, NC--
     Figure 22 presents the experimental configuration for sparging atmosphere
near a major interstate with balogenated compounds and deuterated substances
with the collection of the potential products by using Tenax GC sampling
cartridges.  Table 8 gives the experimental design for this field study.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Laboratory Studies

     Analysis of Tenax cartridges that had been preloaded with d1(j-cyclohexene
and dg-styrene and been exposed to ozone under laboratory conditions indicated
the production of polar products.  The polar products contained carbonyl

from djo-cyclohexene.  In parallel experiments when the particulate filter
preceding the Tenax GC cartridge was impregnated with sodium thiosulfate,
the production of polar products was inhibited.

Field Studies

Baton Rouge, LA—
     Three different atmospheric conditions were selected for field iri situ
reaction studies in Baton Rouge.  The first was conducted during a period of
time representing the highest level of ozone, the second during a high level
of NO  and auto exhaust, and finally the third during low levels of ozone
(nigh£).   Ozone and NO  levels were also measured during this phase of the
study.  The results ofthe ozone levels are presented in Table 9.

     In each of the samples collected, the halogenated hydrocarbons were
characterized and these results are summarized in Table 10.  T2-Samples
(designation in the code) in all cases represent the adsorbent cartridge
which was in line with a permeation tube containing either molecular halogen
or dimethylamine-dg.  It is readily apparent that a number of chlorinated
and brominated compounds were detected at trace levels which were not present
in the corresponding controls.  Also indicated in the table are the results
for the in situ nitrosation reaction study (DMA-dg).  Trace levels of dg-di-
methylnitrosamine were tentatively detected.

     The levels of halogenated hydrocarbons in the ambient air samples were
estimated and these results are given in Tables 11-20.  Table 11 presents
the results obtained for ambient air and was compared with air sparged with
chlorine.  The compounds unaffected by the presence of chlorine are given in
the upper portion of the table, whereas increased levels appeared for other
compounds.  Table 12 presents the similar experimental design; however, a
permeation tube containing molecular bromine was used in the T2 glass chamber
instead of molecular chlorine.  In this case methyl bromide, ethylene dibro-
mide, bromoform and dibromocyclohexane were quantified.

     Table 13 gives the results for dimethylamine-dg spiked in the ambient
air.  A trace quantity of dimethylnitrosamine-dg was detected.

     The sparging of ambient air with molecular chlorine was repeated during
a second sampling period which represented a period of high auto exhaust
levels.  Again chlorinated cyclohexanes were formed.  In addition, a chloro-
phenol isomer was detected (Table 14).

     Tables 19 and 20 list the estimated levels of halogenated compounds for
ambient air with and without molecular chlorine and bromine added.  In this

                                     56

case Che three sampling periods are compared to contrast the Levels of
halogenated compounds that were formed under varying levels of ozone.  When
bromine was added to ambient air, it appears that ozoote facilitated the
bromination .of organics, since at an ozone concentration of zero, the bromina-
Ced organics disappeared to only a trace quantity.

Lake Charles, LA--
     Table 21 presents the quantification of 22 selected organics.  In
Tables 22-27, sampling configurations A and B (Fig. 21) were compared for
cases in which the ambient air was either spiked with molecular chlorine or
bromine.  These results indicate that considerably less chlorination of
endogenous material occurred in contrast to the results obtained in Baton
Rouge, LA.

Houston, TX--
     In this experiment, the Tenax sampling cartridges were loaded with a
discrete zone of dio-cyclohexene (Table 28} or dg-styrene (Table 29).  The
spiked cartridges were then taken to the field for use in sampling (configura-
tion B, Fig. 21).  Tables 29-32 present the vapor-phase halogenated and
other selected orgaaics which were identified in the ambient air from Houston.
Quantitative analysis of these cartridges yielded the results shown in
Figures 23 and 24 (also Tables 33 and 34).

     Tables 35 and 36 summarize the results for the d^Q-cyelohexene and
dg-styrene studies for the various configurational arrangements in sampling
and the use of untreated and treated glass fiber filters with sodium thio-
sulfate.

Raleigh, NC--
     Table 37 presents the sampling protocol for in situ reactions utilizing
deuterated compounds sparged into the air sampling stream.

     Tables 38-41 list the levels of deuterated compounds formed from
djQ-cyclohexene or d8-styrene and molecular chlorine or bromine, respec-
tively.

Cyclohexene-d|o (nominal  level) was  loaded onto Tenax GC  cartridge prior  to  sampling.
Glass fiber filter was impregnated with aqueous solution  of Na2S203.
C12 permeation rate was 1.24  x 10 6  g/min and added to ambient air to give final  concentration of
39 ppb, thus 11.3 pg passed through  each cartridge.  Br2  permeation  rate  was 7.65 x  10 7 g/rain and
added to ambient air to give  final concentration of 17.5  ppb, thus 11.4 pg passed through each
cartridge.

03 was measured in ambient air sampled.

QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF VAPOR-PHASE ORGANICS IN AMBIENT AIR


INTRODUCTION

     During the evaluation of the basic GC/MS/computer system for the
analysis of vapor-phase organics in ambient air, the improved methods were
applied to the analysis of several industrial atmospheres for the presence
of nutagenie and carcinogenic vapors.  This section presents the results on
the qualitative analysis of vapor-pbase organics in air for several geogra-
phical areas.

     In using a GC/MS/COMP system for the purpose of quantification of
selected organic compounds in ambient air, it is important that instrument
parameters be standardized in order to obtain reproducible and accurate
data.  In order to achieve reproducible and accurate quantitative data from
a mass spectrometer, a number of criteria have been delineated which serve
as guidelines to achieve this objective.  These are:

     (1) the selection of a standard compound which represents the m/z
         range of interest in the analyses;

     (2) the calibration of the mass spectrometer to an "optimum" standard
         spectrum to adjust relative ion (m/z) abundances within specified
         tolerances;

     (3) the minimum number of data points per chromatographic peak required
         to achieve acceptable precision during acquisition of full scan
         data;

     (4) the documentation of stability of the mass spectrometer during the
         analysis period;

     (5) the relationship between the percent standard deviation (coeffi-
         cient of variation) for the relative molar response ratios as a
         function of the relative retention order for selected vapor-phase
         orgaaics and the internal standard(s) selected for quantification;

and  (6) the constancy of relative molar response ratios over the dynamic
         mass (quantity) range of analysis (from the limit of detection of
         the mass spectrometer to the overloading of the capillary column).

These factors are also discussed here.

EXPERIMENTAL METHODS

Quantitative Factors

Instrument Standardization—
     The standard which has been selected for determining instrument stabi-
lity as related by resolution and relative ion abundance is perfluorotoluene.
Perfluorotoluene exhibits ions throughout the mass range of interest for
vapor-phase organics with intensities of between 10 and 100% relative abun-
dance.  Furthermore, this compound has been routinely included as an internal
standard for the quantification of vapor-phase organics in ambient air.  In
order to select an optimum standard spectrum, six mass spectra from samples
which were analyzed on a Varian MAT CH-7 GC/MS/CQMP in each of the years
1977, 1978 and 1979 were randomly chosen and an average relative intensity
of each ion (5/2) in the spectrum, standard deviation, and coefficient of
variation were calculated.  Likewise the same concurrent information was
tabulated for perfluorokerosene, a calibration standard commonly employed
with magnetic sector instruments.  Furthermore, six samples for the years
1978 and 1979 were selected which had been analyzed on an LKE 2091 GC/MS/COMP
system.  From all of these data, the average percent intensity, standard
deviation and range were determined.

Precision of Loading Tenax GC Cartridges—
     To measure responses as a function of concentration, the compounds of
interest must be first be reproducibly loaded and desorbed from the Tenax
cartridge.  The loading apparatus shown in Figure 25 was used.  Helium was
purified by passing it through a cryogenic trap followed by two carbon
traps.  The sample was loaded from a methanol solution by injection through
the septum of the heated loading tube.  Vaporized components were swept onto
the Tenax GC cartridge by the helium flow.  By judiciously selecting a total
purge volume of ~1.2 L, the majority of the methanol was passed through tbe
Tenax GC cartridge and since the compounds of interest have larger break-
through volumes they were retained on the Tenax cartridge.  Thus, it was
possible to load relatively non-volatile compounds, specifically those which
are not amenable to preparation as permeation tubes.

     To test this system, an initial set of cartridges was loaded with
zylene and naphthalene using a loading tube temperature of 170°C, the Tenax
cartridge temperature at 30°C, and 300 ml of helium purge volume (30 oL/min).
Under these conditions, naphthalene, which was considered as representative
of low vapor pressure compounds in the vapor-phase fraction, was found not
to be reproducibly loaded.  On the other hand, xylene was reproducibly
loaded.  To insure complete loading of naphthalene, the Loading tube tempera-
ture was increased to 275-280°C.  The Tenax GC tube temperature was 33-35°C
and a helium flow of BO mL/min for 15 min was used.  Four replicate cartridges
were loaded with 270 ng each of naphthalene, desorbed, and analyzed by GC on
a 55 m SE-30 wide bore WCOT capillary at 120°C for 4 min and then programmed
to 220eC at 4*C/min.

RMRs vs. Relative Retention Order to Standards-
     Twelve compounds - dichlarooiethaae, 1,1-dichloroethane, perfluorobenzene,
chloroform, 1,2-dichloroethane, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, carbon tetrachloride,
trichloroethylene, bromodichloromethane, tetrachloroethylene, chloroform,
and dichlorobeazene - were loaded as a replicate set of six on Tenax GC
cartridges.  Cartridges were then analyzed by thermal desorption GC/MS/CQMP
using an 1KB 2091 system and standard conditions.  A second set of six was
analyzed on a Variau MAT CH-7 GC/MS/CQMP system.

     Data sets were statistically analyzed to obtain coefficients of varia-
tion.

RMR vs Vapor-Phase Component Quantity—
     The objective of this set of experiments was to deterime whether:   (1)
the relative molar response ratio was constant and independent of mass
quantity over the range of interest when chromatographing the vapor-phase
organics on the SE-30 wide bore capillary columns; and (2) whether a mass
quantity dependence might occur due to changes in sample pressure in the ion
source.

     Tenax GC cartridges were loaded with diethyl ether, nitromethane, 1,2-
dichloroethane, n-butanol, chlorobenzene, anisole, and naphthalene at three
mass quantities 7^800, *80, Mi ng/cartridge) over the dynamic capacity range
of the wide bore SE-30 coated capillaries and including near the limits  of
detection of the mass spectrometer.  A replicate set of six cartridges for
each mass level was analyzed by GC/MS/COMP and the data were statistically
treated.

Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis of Ambient Air Samples

     The technique for collection of vapor-phase organics has been previously
described.  Improvements described  in this report were incorporated into the
sampling and analysis protocol.  These improved methods were used for the
analysis of vapor-phase organics in Baton Rouge and Lake Charles, LA, Houston
and Beaumont, TX.

     The GC/MS/COMP analysis parameters used were identical to those described
in Section 7  (Table 4).

     Tables 42-45 and Figures  26-36 present the  sampling protocols  for Baton
Rouge,  Lake Charles, Beaumont  and Houston and their respective sampling
locations.  Table 46 provides  the listing of the major industrial firms  in
Baton Rouge, LA and vicinity depicted in Figures 26 and 27.

the relative ion abundances for sets of data collected during each year and
then a composite data set.  Variations are observed in the relative intensity
of each ion (n/z) from sample to sample; however, the coefficients of varia-
tion are relatively constant when comparing data sets.  No attempts had been
made to "control" mass resolution and relative ion intensities for PF8 when
calibrating this instrument.  Thus, the coefficients of variation might be
expected to be larger than for a more closely "controlled" calibration.  The
software system on this system only tests mass resolution fits.

     An "optimum" m/z vs. relative intensity listing for PFK and PFT is
given in Table 49." In order to achieve a ±7% C.V. the suggested range was
proposed.  Use of tight relative ion intensities over the mass (m/z) range
should allow the use of RMR data determined either during analysis of a
sample set or from previously recorded data with a minimal variation in the
RMRs.

     Table 50 presents similar data obtained on an LXB-2091 for the years
1978 and 1979.  In this case the software program requires mass and intensity
fits to be obtained.  It is very evident that the coefficients of variation
are considerably better than from the CH-7 system.  Concomitantly, RMR data
for vapor-phase compounds have been rather constant over an extended period
of time for which information exists (."• 1 year).

Precision of Loading Tenax GC Cartridges—
     Results given in Table 51 indicate that naphthalene can be reproducibly
loaded by the vaporization method (Fig. 25).  Since the Tenax GC cartridge
temperature doesn't exceed 35"C, more volatile compounds should be success-
fully loaded without loss.  To verify this a solution of the following
composition was prepared and loaded:  1,2-dichloroethane - 400 ng, nitrome-
thane - 400 ng, toluene - 250 ng, diethyl ether - 1000 ng and naphthalene -
290 ng.  Desorption and analysis by GC/MS/COMP gave the results in Table 52.
Blank No. 1 was obtained by loading only a 10 pL volume of methanol.  Blanlc
No. 2 was placed in series with the cartridge tube and represents the break-
through concentration.  These data indicate that the more volatile compounds
can also be loaded at the higher temperature.

     An initial problem encountered with the more volatile components was
that the methanol peak from the solvent was partially obscuring these compo-
nents .  In addition the amount of methanol that was retained on the Tenax GC
cartridge was too large and interfered with the operation of the ion source
in the GC/MS.  It was then decided to increase the volume of helium to
1.2 L, a setting well below the breakthrough volume of the majority of
compounds of interest.

RMR vs. Relative Retention Order to Standards--
     Perhaps the most interesting observations were made when  arranging  the
components in the elution order vs. the internal standard giving the lowest
deviation limits under various operating conditions.  Table 53 lists the
coefficients of variation for RMRs as a function of relative retention order
for selected vapor-phase organics.  These data represent the analysis of six
Tenax GC sampling cartridges which were loaded with the corresponding
                                      124

compounds and then analyzed under normal operating conditions by GC/MS/COHP
with an LKB-2091 system.  The first set of data indicate that the coefficient
of variation increased as the relative retention time to that of the internal
standard perfluorobenzene also increased.  For example, compare the coeffi-
cient of variation for chloroform (8%) to that of dichlorobenzene (12%).
The experiment was repeated using a Varian MAT CH-7.  The scan cycle times
were 1.7 and 3.7 sec on the 1KB 2091 and Varian CH-7 systems, respectively.
The increase in the coefficient of variation between the two systems is
evident since the number of data points generated per chromatographic peak
on the LKB 2091 was greater than the Varian CH-7 since the average resident
time of a chromatographic peak is M>-8 sec on wide bore capillaries.  It
appeared that a minimum of 5 data points (scans) was necessary to adequately
describe the chromatographic peak using the reconstructed total ion current
obtained from full scan data.  These data suggest that a second standard is
required which elutes in the chromatographic range near chlorobenzene/naphtha-
lene to obtain the highest precision.

     The observations described here have been thoroughly studied and also
reported elsewhere (10).

RMR vs. Vapor-Phase Component Quantity—
     Experiments were conducted in order to determine whether or not relative
molar response values of vapor-phase organics analyzed by GC/MS/COMP were
independent of mass over the dynamic range of interest.  Since the RMR value
is ultimately based upon a response/molecule, it should be mass quantity
independent.  An observed dependence of RMR values on mass may occur, £•£•»
due to adsorptive losses on the chromatographic column which would then
inherently negate the validity of the assumption.  The use of relative molar
response ratios is based upon a one point calibration curve with a required
linearity over the entire range of interest and an intercept through zero.
A dependence on mass due to, for example, changes in sample pressure in the
ion source would, however, also negate the assumption of a constant RMR.
This question therefore is a major one which must be answered positively if
the concept of RMR is to be used as a means of obtaining quantitative informa-
tion with a GC/MS/COMP system.

     The compounds selected for the study of the effect of concentrations on
the relative molar response ratio are shown in Table 54.  Diethyl ether,
anisole, chlorobenzene, 1,2-dichloroethane, nitromethane, naphthalene, p_-
xylene and toluene were chosen because they represent vapor-phase organics
which are typical of the classes that have been detected in the ambient air.
These compounds were loaded at three concentration levels over two orders of
magnitude and six replicates were run at each loading level.  The analyses
were run on an LKB 2091 using a 75 m SE-30 wide bore WCOT capillary (Table
4).  Relative molar response ratios relative to perfluorobenzene were deter-
mined by peak heights.  These results are shown in Table 54.  These data
show remarkable consistency over a concentration of two orders of magnitude.
The coefficients of variation are comparable with those found in other
experiments and the errors involved include those encountered in loading,
desorption and analysis.  It should be pointed out that the lowest concentra-
tion of the three is quite close to the detection limit of the mass spectro-
meter for all compounds under these operating conditions.

Use of Deuterated Compounds During Ambient Air Sampling

     It is recommended that, during ambient air sampling, deuterated coo-
pounds be incorporated into the sampling regime.  There is a high probabi-
lity that deuterated organics will not be found in ambient air and thus they
will not interfere with the subsequent analysis.  The mass spectrometer
provides an ability to differentiate between deuterated compounds which are
considered exogenous as compared to the endogenous vapor-phase organics in
ambient air.

     The incorporation of deuterated compounds can be performed in two ways:
(1) a series of deuterated compounds [£-g-, d$-dimethylamine, d$-benzene,
ds-broooethane, d10-cyclohexene and dg-styrene may be loaded as a discrete
zone directly onto the Tenax GC sampling cartridge using the vaporization
system depicted in Figure 21 or from permeation tubes; and (2) by the use of
permeation tubes during field sampling whereby the ambient air stream is
spiked with known quantities.

     The use of deuterated compounds in the sampling regime provides an
ability to check on potential artifacts which may occur as a result of the
reactivity of the atmosphere being sampled.  The suggested deuterated
compound would allow for determination whether nitrosation, ozonization or
halogenation might have occurred during the concentration of organics onto
the sampling cartridges, since the mass spectrometer provides the opportunity
to identify any deuterated by-products.  Furthermore the incorporation of
the suggested deuterated compounds provides a check on the breakthrough
volumes which have been calculated for a series of compounds of interest in
order to quantify them.  Any variations in the breakthrough volume of a
compound as a direct result of the specific air sampled would be reflected
by these compounds since they span a large range of breakthrough volumes
that are experienced for vapor-phase compounds.  The premature disappearance
of these compounds would indicate that the quantity of air sampled is beyond
the dynamic range of the collection device (i.*e., capacity which exists as a
function independent of frontal displacement chromatography).  A standard
technique used by most laboratories employs backup sampling cartridges to
determine whether premature breakthrough of organic constituents has occurred.
Although this technique has been employed in the quantification of vapor-phase
organics by GC/MS/COMP, the use of deuterated compounds as suggested above
is preferred.  The use of a backup cartridge alters the pressure differential
across a sampling device and thus complicates the determination of premature
breakthrough since vacuum stripping of adsorbed materials also becomes a
factor leading to premature breakthrough.

Statistical Analysis of Permeation Rates

     In previous reports, research has been described in the development of
a permeation system and the use of permeation tubes for the purpose of cali-
brating the GC/MS/COMP system for quantification of vapor-phase organics in
ambient air samples.  Procedures have employed the weekly to biweekly gravi-
metric determinations of the weight losses of permeation tubes to calculate
the permeation rate for each organic compound.  A statistical approach has
been developed in this laboratory which utilizes a linear regression analysis

                                     132

-------
of the six most recent gravimetric determinations for each permeation tube.
The permeation rate calculated on this basis thus has associated with it an
error band (standard deviation).  Permeation rates which exhibit percent
standard deviations of >10% or a significant non-zero slope are rejected for
purposes of calibrating the GC/MS/COMP systems.

Qualitative and Quantitative Analyses

     The vapor-phase organics which were identified in ambient air from
Baton Rouge, Plaquemine and Lake Charles, LA, Beaumont, Groves, Port Neches,
Houston, Deer Park and Pasadena, TX are given in Appendix A.

     Many of the halogenated hydrocarbons which have been previously identi-
fied during sampling trips executed between the period of 1973 to 1977 were
again identified in these samples.  The site-specific and ubiquitous halogena-
ted hydrocarbons were again detected in these atmospheres.  Tables 55-57
present the estimated levels of several of these vapor-phase organics.

     Several levels of compound identification have been employed in the
course of analysis of vapor-phase organics in ambient air samples.  These
criteria have developed throughout several years of experience in the identi-
fication of organic compounds and have been used in our laboratories to
establish the degree of certainty of the identity of an organic compound.
These levels of identification are as follows:

     Level I   Computer Interpretation.  The raw data generated from the
               analysis of samples are subjected to computerized deconvolution/
               library search and compound identification made using this
               approach has the lowest level of confidence.  In general
               Level I is reserved for only those cases where compound
               verification is the primary intent of the qualitative analysis.

     Level II  Manual Interpretation.  The plotted mass spectra are manually
               interpreted by a skilled interpreter and compared to those
               spectra compiled in a data compendium.  In general a minimum
               of  five masses and intensities  (±5% S.D.) should match be-
               tween the unknown and library spectrum.  This level does not
               utilize any further information such as retention time since
               many compounds the authentic compound may not be available
               for establishing retention times.

     Level III Manual Interpretation Plus Retention Time/Boiling Point of
               Compound.  In addition to the effort as described under Level
               II, the retention time of the compound  is  compared to the
               retention time which has been derived from previous chromato-
               graphic analysis.  Also the boiling point of the identified
               component is compared to the boiling points of other compounds
               in  the near vicinity of the one in question when a capillary
               coated with a non-polar phase has been  used.
