ORGANIC COMPOUND TESTING

Semi volatiles are organic compounds that carry around a high molecular weight. They are also known for causing health problems for humans after exposure. Since semi volatiles are common indoors, they can negatively impact people.

To determine if semi volatile compounds are present in your water or indoor air, testing needs to be done to extract a part of one of these compounds and then have it analyzed for its composition. The testing is done by gas chromatography, as well as mass spectrometry. What the test is looking for are acids, bases, or neutrals that have a high molecular weight and boiling point temperature. A low vapor pressure is also consistent with semi volatiles. Their presence can be found in air, water, soil, and more. If testing is done on these compounds, it can help identify semi volatiles and stop their spread and contamination.
