The Soyuz-22 space cabin atmosphere was studied for volatile organic trace contaminants. By gas chromatography the following constituents were identified: methane, ethane, heptane, methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, acetaldehyde, acetone, and ethyl benzene. Except for acetone, concentrations of the above compounds were close to the values determined in the mock-up experiments.
