Automized procedures for the determination of ozone and ammonia contents in air by using the chromatomembrane method for gas-liquid extraction.

Chromatomembrane cells (CMC) operate as unique manifolds for extraction and preconcentration procedures in computer controlled flow-injection-analysis (FIA). By coupling to an ion chromatograph and to a conductometer, respectively, instrumentation is obtained that allows the pretreatment and the detection of ozone- and ammonia-containing samples after absorption of the gaseous constituents of air inside a chromatomembrane cell. The analysis of air even in the presence of liquid aerosols is discussed.
