“…82 Similar devices have been described by Kaspar-Giebl and co-workers. 81,98 Hallberg and Rudling 99 designed a liquid medium sorbent badge, in which the diffusion is controlled by a number of small channels. The sampler was designed to be versatile; sodium carbonate±hydrogencarbonate buffer was used as the sorbing medium for SO 2 , and dilute sulfuric acid was used as the sorbing medium for ammonia (see below).…”

“…SO2 and NO2. Average concentrations of SO 2 and NO 2 were determined with two parallel 7 days exposed passive samplers of the "badge"-type [Kasper-Giebl et al, 1999]. In the time period from May 4, 0730 LT to May 10, 0730 LT, 12 aerosol samples (6 "day" and 6 "night" samples) were collected with two parallel LoVol samplers.…”

(CI-, NO•-, SO42-, oxalate, NH•-, Na +, K +, Ca 2+, Mg2+), trace metals and crustal elements (Fe, Mn, Ca, Mg, Pb, Cu, Ag, Cd), "black carbon" (BC), total carbon (TC); and in selected samples for aerosol humidity, for mono-and dicarboxylic acids and other polar organic components, and for cellulose as a tracer for plant debris. Aerosol mass balances for the individual samples were constructed from the sum of following groups: Humidity (determined as weight loss at 100øC with a microthermobalance), ammonium sulfate, C1-and NOj, organic material, BC, and soil dust. On the average, the fit between the sum of the determined groups of components and the gravimetrically determined mass was within 6%, whereas deviations ranged for individual samples from -12 to +27% relative to the gravimetrically determined mass. The main component in aerosol was soil dust (36%), followed by organic material (28%), and ammonium sulfate (27%). Humidity was 6%, BC was 2%, and C1-and NOj were i% of aerosol mass. The low BC/TC ratio of 0.09 indicated little influence from combustion sources. The diurnal trend of the BC/TC ratio of 0.06 during day and 0.14 during night indicated a daytime source for organic components with no BC associated. As there were no industrial or other anthropogenic sources evident, the daytime source of organic components is assumed to be gas-particle conversion from biogenic emissions. Plant debris and organic acids were the major analytically accessible groups; however, together they form only 7.2% of the carbonaceous material. With 0.4% other polar organics and 5.7% BC in this group, 86.7% of the carbonaceous material remains unidentified. In this work we present a detailed mass balance of the atmospheric aerosol of a biogenically dominated southern African site for "nonburning" conditions. The balance includes organic and elemental carbon as well as aerosol humidity. In addition to ion and elemental analysis, we apply a combination of thermal methods originally proposed by Puxbaum [1979a, 1979b]

Passive sampling and/or extraction techniques in environmental analysis: a review

The current state-of-the-art of passive sampling and/or extraction methods for long-term monitoring of pollutants in different environmental compartments is discussed in this review. Passive dosimeters that have been successfully used to monitor organic and inorganic contaminants in air, water, sediments, and soil are presented. The application of new approaches to the determination of pollutants at the sampling stage is discussed. The main milestones in the development of passive techniques for sampling and/or extraction of analytes, and in biomonitors used in environmental analysis, are summarized in this review. Passive samplers and biomonitors are compared.
