  • Title: A diffusive badge sampler for volatile organic compounds in ambient air and determination using a thermal desorption-GC/MS system.

    Journal: Anal Chem; 2002 Jan 15; 74(2):484-7. PubMed ID: 11811425.
    Abstract:
    A sensitive personal badge sampler packed with Carbopack B for ambient levels of volatile organic compounds and an analytical system using a thermal desorption-preconcentration-GC/MS have been developed. The capacity of the new sampler was sufficient for an 8-h sampling period, and the analytical method was sensitive enough for the measurement of sub-ppb levels for a 2-h sampling period. The samplers were compared to diffusive samplers (OVM 3500) for typical environmental concentrations. There was a good correlation between the results obtained with the new samplers and the OVM samplers.
