GAS CHROMATOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS 107 found in the air comes very close to the liquid ratio of the gases being used. From this analysis it was determined that the Freon © 12 concentration in the air was 1400 p.p.m. and the Freon © 114 concentration was 800 p.p.m. From all of these illustrations it can be seen that gas chromatography is a powerful tool for the aerosol industry, not only to improve present prod- ucts but also for the research and development of new products. Gas chromatography is a new analytical tool that could not have been made more useful had it been specifically devised for the aerosol industry.
