Development of a New Passive Sampling Method for the Measurement of Atmospheric Linear and Cyclic Volatile Methyl Siloxanes
A new passive sampling method was developed and characterized to measure atmospheric volatile methyl siloxanes (VMS). The infrastructure of a commercial passive air sampler (PAS) was used along with XAD-2 resin as the adsorbent. Experimental sampling rates (SR) determined using collocated active and...

Zusammenfassung: | A new passive sampling method was developed and characterized to measure atmospheric volatile methyl siloxanes (VMS). The infrastructure of a commercial passive air sampler (PAS) was used along with XAD-2 resin as the adsorbent. Experimental sampling rates (SR) determined using collocated active and passive samplers ranged between 0.0363 (L5) and 0.0561 (D3) m3/day and agreed well with the theoretical ones. VMS uptake was highly linear for eight weeks. The precision of the method was very good ( |
