Recent Advances and Applications of Passive Sampling Devices

Abstract

Passive samplers have been developed in many different forms and used in different fields of study because of their unique capabilities. One part of recent reports has focused on benefiting from the advantages of passive sampling in areas such as wastewater-based epidemiology and non-targeted analysis. The other part mainly deals with novel approaches to improve the reliability and efficiency of the sampling process. This paper reviews major advances and new applications of this sampling strategy based on recently published scientific publications.
