The invention relates to a detection method of trace volatile sulfides in a gypsum board. The detection method solves the problems of poor selectivity and difficulty for accurate analysis of volatile sulfides with a low concentration in present detection methods. The detection method realizes the qualitative and quantitative analysis of an object to be detected by placing a gypsum board in a climate box, keeping a constant temperature and humidity, and performing trapping by a solid adsorbent, thermal desorption, separation by a capillary column of gas chromatography, and detection by a flamephotometric detector. The detection method has the advantages of high selectivity, and high sensitivity, is especially applicable to the analysis and determination of trace volatile sulfides (hydrogen sulfide, sulfur dioxide, carbon oxysulfide, carbon disulfide) with a low concentration and multiple components, has accurate and reliable determination, and has good application prospects.
