As an example of the technique's effectiveness, the results of a series of ambient air samples taken in a Portuguese eucalyptus forest are presented. Samples were collected on to a sorbent trap, and analysis was performed on site using a programmed temperature vaporisation injector (PTV) to produce a rapid desorption of analytes from sorbent trap on to a wide bore gas chromatography (GC) column. Using this method no intermediate cryofocusing step is required, eliminating the need for cryogenic coolants. The high flow rate of helium over the sorbent trap during the GC analysis rapidly reconditions the trap which is ready to be reused at the end of the analytical programme. Using a single sorbent trap ambient biogenic compound concentrations from the forest canopy were monitored every 70 min, over a 5 d period.
