“…The employed mass spectrometer was working in a SCAN mode. Detailed information about the principals and characteristic of the thermal desorption technique is presented elsewhere (Król et al 2012;Zabiegała et al 2007). To eliminate signals associated with other processes occurring in the laboratory hall and select only signals related to the performed modification, as well as to ensure the reliability of obtained results, the "background" was also analyzed.…”

This study presents an analysis of the structure and properties of different types of lignocellulosic fillers modified by isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) to provide insights into the possibility of their application to the manufacturing of wood polymer composites (WPCs). Moreover, it deals with the environmental aspects of modified fillers, by assessment of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted during modification, as well as from final products. Three types of commercially available lignocellulosic fillers were modified with different content of IPDI (from 1 to 15 wt%) using the internal mixer. The main compounds detected in the air during modifications were terpenes and terpenoids. No IPDI was detected, which is very beneficial considering its toxicity. On the other hand, IPDI was emitted from modified fillers at a slightly elevated temperature of 40 °C, which was associated with a significant rise in its vapor pressure. Successful modification of fillers was confirmed by FTIR spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis. Performed modifications of lignocellulosic fillers with IPDI had a relatively small impact on their particle size and color properties. Such an effect can be considered beneficial for the mechanical performance and appearance of WPCs, which could be potentially manufactured using IPDI-modified lignocellulosic fillers.

“…Analytical procedure for the BTEX extraction and final determination The most important stage of the analytical procedure (after collection of analyte samples from the gaseous medium) is liberation of the analytes adsorbed on the sorption bed of Radiello ® diffusive passive sampler. The process of liberating the analytes adsorbed on the sorption bed took place by means of two-stage thermal desorption technique (extraction in increased temperature (280°C) in the stream of inert gas (Helium -45 mL min −1 ) -thermal desorber designed and constructed by Omnisfera S.C., Gdansk, Poland) [43].…”

“…This diagram depicts an uncertainty of particular stages of the procedure. The uncertainty budget for herbicides determination in vegetables and thermal samples was calculated on the basis of the Ishikawa diagram [20][21][22] . The influence of selected parameters on uncertainty of final result is presented in The expanded uncertainty (%) was calculated according to selected terms of relative uncertainty in measurements by means of the Equation.…”

This paper presents a simple, relatively inexpensive method for the detection of a group of commonly used herbicides such as mesotrione, simazine and atrazine in vegetables, thermal water and sediment samples by means of reversed phase-high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) with ultraviolet detection (DAD). The calibration curves were linear in the concentration range of 0.10-5.00 μg/mL. The limits of detection calculated at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3 were in the range of 0.03-0.10 μg/mL. The uncertainties of analytical methods were lower than 10 %. The method was validated by spiking recovery test of mesotrione, simazine and atrazine from the samples. Simazine and atrazine in the concentration range of 0.03-0.82 μg/g were detected in most of the vegetable samples, whereas mesotrione in the concentration of 2.40 and 4.96 μg/ mL was found only in thermal waters and 0.28 μg/g in a sediment sample.
