✦ Synopsis

Losses due to polymerization ofvapours collected from the atmosphere using a solid adsorbent (activated carbon), that catalyses this polymerization were examined. The losses of styrene vapour sampled on activated carbon that occur when elution is delayed were studied. Tests performed using an adsorbent treated with an inhibitor of the polymerizztion reaction (catechol), which is effective only when the granules remain in contact with the eluate, are described_
