Abstract

A solid-phase extraction (SPE) method involving selective usage of solvents has been developed for trace level identification of chemical warfare agents (CWAs) present in a complex organic background. The total ion chromatograms obtained from direct gas chromatography-electron ionization mass spectrometric analysis of samples spiked with CWAs in the presence of diesel are very complex and dominated by hydrocarbon peaks and the same after treatment with SPE show distinct peaks corresponding to spiked chemicals. The recovery of samples from SPE is found to be 70-85% at the 10 ppm level.
