PASSIVE SAMPLERS FOR INVESTIGATIONS OF AIR QUALITY: METHOD DESCRIPTION, IMPLEMENTATION, AND COMPARISON TO ALTERNATIVE SAMPLING METHODS
U.S. EPA, Engineering Technical Support Center.
EPA 600-R-14-434, 44 pp, 2014

This paper covers the basics of passive sampler design and then compares passive samplers to conventional methods of air sampling; discusses considerations for implementing a passive sampling program; and addresses field sampling and sample analysis considerations to ensure adequate data quality and supportable interpretations of the passive sample data. The reader is expected to have a basic technical background on the VI exposure pathway and the use and interpretation of indoor air sampling data. http://nepis.epa.gov/Exe/ZyPDF.cgi?Dockey=P100MK4Z.pdf
