GC is versatile and can be used to analyze a wide variety of samples. In the context of epidemiology, common samples include:
- Biological Samples: Blood, urine, tissue, and breath samples can be analyzed to detect the presence of drugs, metabolites, and other biomarkers.
- Environmental Samples: Air, water, soil, and food samples can be analyzed to detect pollutants like volatile organic compounds (VOCs), pesticides, and other harmful chemicals.
