Description

Studies for volatile organic compounds (VOC) in urban areas in the southern Balkans are scarce and our objective was to monitor the organic emissions in outdoor air in seven cities in Kosova for several months using Radiello® diffusive passive samplers. In parallel, the profile of VOC from commercially available gasoline and diesel fuels in the respective cities was determined using static headspace gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (SHS-GC-MS).
