Sampling of organic volatiles in the atmosphere at moderate and low pollution levels

Abstract: Several techntques are avatlable for measunng organic volattles m the atmosphere. For measurements at low and moderate pollUtlon levels (between several p.g m-3 and a fraction of a p.g m-3 ), the eXIstmg methods can be adopted to a broad range of different compounds. Whole-atr samphng m stamless-steel containers With metal bellows valves combmed With subsequent gas chromatograpluc separatIOn after preconcentratlon 10 the laboratory IS probably the best procedure for low and medium molecular Weight trace gases … Show more

“…In this configuration temperatures were set to 272 and 573 K for adsorption and desorption, respectively. The advantage of Tenax ® TA is the very low break through volume for water and especially for CO 2 (Helmig and Vierling, 1995) and therefore it has widely been used for sampling atmospheric VOCs (see for example Rudolph et al, 1990). This reduces significantly the amount of CO 2 in the pre-concentrated sample, thus preventing the CTS from freezing over which was frequently observed when VOCs where pre-concentrated on glass beads.…”

“…Segundo Rudolph et al, 19 uma importante característica da amostragem utilizando esses recipientes é a eficiência de coleta, que é normalmente de 100%. Entretanto, este método tem duas principais limitações: o volume da amostra é limitado a poucos litros, o que pode ser insuficiente para análise de compostos encontrados em baixas concentrações no ar e a integridade da amostra durante a estocagem é normalmente duvidosa devido à possibilidade de perda dos compostos amostrados por adsorção nas paredes do recipiente, reações químicas entre compostos existentes no ar amostrado ou instabilidade do composto de interesse.…”

“…No entanto, devem ser usadas com precaução devido à grande possibilidade de contaminação da amostra durante a coleta e a estocagem. 1,19 Algumas bolsas são permeáveis, como tem sido observado, 21 ocorrendo perdas significativas de amostra quando estocada por longos períodos, ou contaminação da amostra com compostos gasosos que fluem para dentro da bolsa. Estes recipientes contêm alguns resíduos oriundos do seu processamento, por exemplo, enxofre, N,N-dimetilacetamida e outros contaminantes, dependendo da marca e lote da bolsa.…”
