A method for the identification of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released from packaging expanded polystyrene (EPS) is presented. Headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) with a 75-mum carboxen-polydimethylsiloxan fiber was used as sample preparation technique before the determination of the volatile organic compounds by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). For separation of compounds, two fused silica capillary columns of different polarity (DB-5ms and BPX-50) were used. Styrene monomer with his impurities and oxidation products, as well as residual pentane, were identified in the headspace of EPS.
