During passive air sampling, the amount of a chemical taken up in a sorbent from the air
without the help of a pump is quantified and converted into an air concentration. In an …

This article reviews recent literature on the analysis of industrial contaminants in indoor air in
the framework of the REACH project, which is mainly intended to improve protection of …

With current science and policy needs, more attention is being given to expanding and
improving air sampling of semivolatile organic contaminants (SVOCs). However, a wide …

Indoor air concentrations of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and polychlorinated
biphenyls (PCBs) measured in 20 locations in Toronto ranged 0.008− 16 ng· m− 3 (median …

The contamination and outflow of atmospheric polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in
the Chinese Northern Plain, a region with a total area of 300 000 km2 and a high PAH …

Chicken organs, animal feed, drop**s, and ambient air were sampled at a farm in Bei**g
to determine the concentrations of hexachlorocyclohexane isomers (HCHs) and …

Passive air sampling (PAS) was employed to study the occurrence of gaseous and particle-
bound PAHs in the North Chinese Plain. The averaged concentrations of gaseous and …

This paper presents a systematic but preliminary study on the levels, inventory mass,
emission sources and risk of exposure to PAHs in China by examining 14 polycyclic …

The polyurethane foam (PUF) disk-based passive air samplers (PAS), mounted inside two
aluminium bowls to buffer the air flow to the disk and to shield it from precipitation and …

Passive air samplers (PASs) operate in different types of environment under various wind
conditions, which may affect sampling rates and thus introduce uncertainty to PAS-derived …
