 Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   A constant flow of trichloroethene vapor was bubbled through water, allowing 45 minutes for equilibration. The concentration in the gas mixture was in the range 0.5-2 % (v/v) trichloroethene. A Riken 18A refractometer provided accurate  estimations of gaseous concentrations of trichloroethene. Five samples of aqueous solutions were analyzed by gas chromatography. The chromatograph was equipped with a flame ionization detector and potentiometric recorder.
