Dear All,

I was asked to see the feasability of analysing C ratios of atmospheric
benzene in order to detect its potential sources.
Having no experience for this kind of problem, I contact the Isogeochem
community to get eventually some informations.

-Any reference is welcome about SI in benzene from different origins (coal,
petroleum...). If anybody also has references on sampling method and sample
processing, it should be great.
-Is a GC-C needed, coupled to the IR-MS, or can samples be prepared off-line?
-Any information related to the topic will be greatly acknowledged

Thanks in advance
Pat
