Sampling time

1) Direct SPME sampling was carried out between 1:20 and 1:30 min. after ignition time

2) In case of tedlar bag sampling was done for 10 sec. after end of experiment

3) In case of glass vessel sampling time was for 5:00 min. after heating step

1) Direct syringe sampling was done 1:20 min. after ignition time

2) In case of tedlar bag sampling was carried out immediately after end of experiment

3) In case of glass vessel, sampling was performed immediately after heating step

For all solvents, sampling time was from 35 sec to 3:30 min.

Sampling time was from 35 sec to 3:30 min.
