Summary of Guide4.1 Contaminants in air are sampled by collection with a sorbent or chemically reactive medium in order to undergo subsequentanalysis for determination of concentration. Contaminants in air are transported to the sorption medium or reactin

During the sampling process, the compounds, in a molecular state, diffuse from the environmentadjacent to the sampler through a first region of defined geometric structure and into a second adsorbing region containing thesorbent. Samplers are resealed at the
