sary to investigate the "dichloroethane situation"
further.
Localities for further screening and monitoring
As there have been high and repeated emissions
at Rafnes, high concentrations of dichloroethane
may be found in groundwater and marine sediment
here.
Analysis
The analysis of 1,2-dichloroethane is often part
of packages with several other volatile organic
compounds (VOC).
Methods
The methods are based on purge-and-trap, or
head-space analysis and separation and quantification
with GC-based methods: GC/MS or
GC/ECD.

Synergy with other analyses
Sample preparation and quantification can be
co-ordinated with the analysis of other VOC
like compounds or other halogenated and nonhalogenated
solvents.
