A study was performed in order to compare two techniques of air sampling, i.e. with use of SUMMA canisters and with use of sorption tubes. Analysed was air collected in Krakow and Vienna together with calibration mixtures containing 7 and 27 hydrocarbons of known concentrations. The samples were analysed with use of two different gas chromatographs equipped with different columns and with FID detectors.Keywords: hydrocarbons, gas chromatography, canisters, sorption tubes.
