This dataset contains raw area counts and percent recoveries of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) standards desorbed from selected sorbent tubes and analyzed using thermal desorption-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (TD-GC/MS). The results of this study were published in the article "Recovery and reactivity of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons collected on selected sorbent tubes and analyzed by thermal desorption-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry" in Journal of Chromatography A [1]. The sorbent tubes studied include stainless steel Carbograph 2TD/1TD, glass quartz wool-Carbograph 2TD, inert-coated stainless steel Carbograph 2TD, glass and stainless steel Tenax TA, PAH (chemical weapons), and glass and stainless steel XRO-440 sorbent tubes. Tables listing the experimental conditions, TD methods, and types of sorbent tubes are included in the manuscript. Data for experiments, including the investigation of incomplete desorption of PAHs from Carbograph 2TD/1TD and XRO-440 sorbent tubes, the comparison of PAH recoveries from three different TD methods, the analysis of PAH breakthrough from sorbent tubes, the investigation of the effect of heat on PAH percent recovery from sorbent tubes, and the formation of reaction products during PAH loading and desorption are included in Appendix A. These data can be used to guide sorbent tube selection for PAH analyses in future studies.

The most commonly used methods to chemically assess grape and wine quality with high sensitivity and selectivity require lengthy analysis time and can be resource intensive. Here, we developed a rapid and non-destructive method that would help in grading and decision support. In this work, we demonstrate that integrating a three-dimensional (3D) material for volatile sampling with mass spectrometry detection can be used to sample grapes for phytosanitary, quality or smoke-taint assessments at low levels of marker compounds.

The detection of skeletal remains using human remain detection dogs (HRD) is often reported anecdotally by handlers to be a challenge. Limited studies have been conducted to determine the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted from bones, particularly when there is limited organic matter remaining. This study aimed to determine the VOCs emitted from dry, weathered bones and examine the detection performance of HRD dogs on these bones when used as training aids.

Continuous, non-invasive, and objective methods to detect flock-level responses to stressors, including intestinal health deviations, are currently lacking in poultry. This proof of principle study investigated the potential of manure odor profiling in monitoring stress responses in Lohmann Brown Classic, Lohmann LSL Classic and Lohmann LSL Lite layer pullets. Stressors were represented by a Salmonella vaccination given to the pullets at wk 3 of age (Dataset 1 and Dataset 2) and wk 16 of age (Dataset 4) and a viral/bacterial vaccine cocktail given at wk 12 of age (Dataset 3).

Exhaled breath volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are often collected and stored in sorbent tubes before thermal desorption-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (TD-GC-MS) analysis. Information about the stability of VOCs during storage is needed to account for potential artifacts and monitor for losses. Additionally, information about the stability of VOC standards in solution is required to assess their performance as quality control and internal standards.
