Semi-volatile Pollutants Analysis by GC/MS 
There are no clear-cut definitions to distinguish semi-volatile from volatile organic compounds. However, dichlorobenzenes and trichlorobenzenes are being considered as volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds, respectively. Naphthalene is considered as high end of volatile compound and low end of semi-volatile compounds. SwRI has over 35 years of experience in analyzing semi-volatile organic pollutants in the following chemical categories: pesticides, PCBs, chlorinated and brominated dioxins/dibenzofurans, polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), nitro-PAHs, and industrial chemicals. Almost any semi-volatile organic pollutants in any matrix can be analyzed by SwRI.
