WATERLOO MEMBRANE SAMPLER: PASSIVE SAMPLING IN REMEDIATION PROJECTS; SOIL GAS, OUTDOOR AIR AND IMPLICATIONS FOR VAPOR INTRUSION STUDIES
Pautler, B. | Smart Remediation, 6 February, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, 2020

The Waterloo Membrane Sampler™ (WMSTM) is a passive permeation sampler that incorporates a polydimethylsiloxane membrane across the face of a vial filled with sorbent medium. It has been used to collect soil gas, indoor, and outdoor air to monitor remediation projects focused on time-weighted average VOC concentration and compound-specific isotope analysis. This presentation provides technical information on the WMSTM sampler and data on recent sampler developments that show WMSTMs have the potential to be applied to all indoor and outdoor air VOC sampling, including perimeter monitoring of remediation projects, such as excavations and long-term monitoring for vapor intrusion work. https://2ziapbmm3zh1x23mj335vjxt-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/SMART-Remediation-Ottawa-2020-Brent-Pautler.pdf
