AB  - Pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry of polymer samples is studied 
      focusing on the effect of hydrogen (H2) carrier gas on chromatographic and 
      spectral data. The pyrograms and the related mass spectra of high density 
      polyethylene (HDPE), low density polyethylene, and polystyrene (PS) serve to 
      illustrate the differences between the species formed in H2 and the helium 
      environment. Differences in the pyrograms and the spectra are generally thought 
      to be a result of the hydrogenation reaction of the pyrolyzates. From the peak 
      intensity changes in the pyrograms of HDPE and PS, hydrogenation of unsaturated 
      pyrolyzates is concluded to occur when the pyrolysis is done in H2. Moreover, 
      additional hydrogenation of the pyrolyzates occurs in the electron ionization 
      source of a MS detector when H2 is used as a carrier gas. Finally, the 
      applicability of mass spectral libraries to characterize pyrograms obtained in H2 
      is illustrated using 24 polymers. The effect of the hydrogenation reaction on the 
      library search results is found to be negligible for most polymer samples with 
      polar and nonpolar monomer units.
