Monitoring of the content of free acrylonitrile in plastics used for the preparation of viands is necessary due to its negative effect on human health. A content of 20 ppb is the maximal value of free acrylonitrile in such samples. In this case, head-space gas chromatography is most favourable analytical method when combined with the standard addition method together with a mass-spectrometry detector because of a very low concentration of the analyte. In samples taken for analysis, the content of free acrylonitrile was found to be within 5.1 and 10.3 ppb (μg/kg).
