You don't have to be worried about xenon's purity, since it is a noble gas and even though its compounds with fluorine had been reported, these compounds are unstable. Therefore, you can extract xenon in pure form without worrying about contamination.

However, xenon is extremely rare and hard to extract from any source. You can liquefy fin air to the liquid state (liquid oxygen, nitrogen and noble gases). Here you can find traces of xenon gas and others like krypton, argon... To extract xenon out of the other substances, you can either use silica gel or distillation to get pure xenon with a minimum level of other noble gases. Another source is from mineral spring, but it's also a hard job.
