Air Monitoring Overview
•
Method Summary:
–
Volatile organic contaminants in air samples are collected in canisters or on
thermal desorption tubes. The collected volatile compounds are transferred
to a GC or GC/MS system using a sample concentrator or thermal desorption
system.
–
Semi-volatile contaminants are collected on adsorbents which are extracted
using an appropriate solvent. The solvent is concentrated and an aliquot of
the extract is typically analyzed by GC with a selective detector, or by
GC/MS.
