Volatile pollutants produced from several rubber goods manufacturing processes were sampled and analyzed. Samples were collected in the vulcanization areas of a shoe-sole factory, a tire retreading operation and in the extrusion areas of the retreading operation and an insulated cable manufacturer. Volatile organics from the vulcanization and extrusion operations were collected on activated charcoal, desorbed with trichlorofluoromethane and analyzed by GC/MS [gas chromatography/mass spectrometry]. Compounds (.apprx. 100) were identified and quantitated; their cumulative concentrations ranged from 25-27,000 .mu.g/m3.
