Analytical methods for odorous butanol compound were developed using canister sampling method and solid adsorbent sampling method. Stability of butanol gas component was evaluated for enhancing accuracy of measurement and to avoid a problem of its poor stability due to its polar character. Quality control method of the analysis was also examined. Gaseous standard gas containing BuOHl and MEK was prepared using canister for evaluation of stability and analytical linearity. BuOH showed a poor stability and poor linearity compared to MEK. However, when the same VOC standard was prepared using adsorbent tube, the stability and linearity of BuOH were much better compared to canister method. Therefore, sampling for the measurement of BuOH in air using adsorbent tube can give better result compared to canister method.
