APPLICATION OF PASSIVE SORBENT TUBE AND CANISTER SAMPLERS FOR VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS AT REFINERY FENCELINE LOCATIONS IN WHITING, INDIANA
Mukerjee, S., L. Smith, M. Caudill, K. Oliver, W. Whipple, D. Whitaker, and T. Cousett.
Journal of the Air & Waste Management Association 68(2):170-175(2018)
Select VOCs in ambient air were measured at fenceline locations using modified EPA Method 325 A/B with passive tubes and EPA Compendium Method TO-15 with canister samplers. One-week, time-integrated samplers were deployed for eight weeks with tubes and canister samplers deployed in duplicate. Good precision was obtained from the duplicate tubes (<7%) and duplicate canisters (≤10%) for BTEX, PCE, and styrene. The tubes yielded statistically significantly higher concentrations than canisters for BTEX and lower levels for styrene, although all differences were estimated to be <0.1 ppbv. No concentration differences among the four Whiting sites were found for any of the VOCs.
