Detection range of target compounds represented as μg per mg aerosol condensate collected, as determined by GC/MS, GC/FID, or IC (samples 25–30, generated using a 1.2 Ω coil at 20 W comprised of 1:1 molar propylene glycol and glycerol). Free chloride was the only target analyte detected in an unvaped starting material blank (Table 2).
Structures are depicted in Figure 5.
Multipoint calibration prepared from authentic chemical standards, GC/FID peak area normalized to internal standard peak area and mass concentration calculated.
Analyte mass concentration estimated from GC/MS total ion chromatogram (TIC) peak area normalized to internal standard TIC peak area.
Multipoint calibration standard used to establish response factor from 1,3-dichloropropan-2-ol, target ion peak area extracted from GC/MS data, and normalized to internal standard extracted target ion peak area to estimate approximate analyte mass concentration.
IC used with multipoint calibration standard prepared from sodium chloride.
Spectral match identified 1,3-dichloropropanol with high certainty but retention time did not match that of an authentic chemical standard. Spectra suggest this unidentified compound is at least monochlorinated.
