Abstract
The methyl chloride concentration distribution in the atmosphere is of importance to the discussion of potential ozone destruction by chlorine-catalyzed reactions in the stratosphere. A gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric technique for rapid measurement of methyl chloride in air samples is described. The procedure provides both better sensitivity and better precision than previously reported determinations of methyl chloride in air. Some representative data are presented to illustrate the use of the method.Keywords
