Air Sampling
VOCs
- I originally began this project in hopes of working with sulfates. However, due to the air sampling techniques available at Monmouth College, I chose to change my sample to a wider variety of VOCs. This link provides the background information I collected: Sulfur.
- While sulfates are the main focus of much of the literature I read, almost all volatile organic compounds are considered to be air pollutants, at least in the United States.
- Some of the volatile organic compounds defined as air pollutants by the EPA include: benzene, chlorine, ethylene glycol, hexane, HCl, methanol, toluene, and xylenes, among many others.
- I hope to shift my focus of air sampling from sulfates to a broader variety of VOCs, due to the complications involving the air sampling of sulfates as well as the low availability of standards.
- 25ug/mL suggested for gcms standards
