Cluster analysis of passive air sampling data based on the relative composition of persistent organic pollutants.
The development of passive air samplers has allowed the measurement of time-integrated concentrations of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) within spatial networks on a variety of scales. Cluster analysis of POP composition may enhance the interpretation of such spatial data. Several methodological aspects of the application of cluster analysis are discussed, including the influence of a domi...
متن کاملNew Trends in the Sampling and Analysis of Atmospheric Persistent Organic Pollutants over the Open Ocean
Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) are globally distributed and are of great concern due to their persistence, carcinogenicity and endocrine-disrupting effects. POPs include a wide range of xenobiotic chemicals, including organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and brominated flame retardants (BFR). These chemicals have been detected in remote polar regions that lac...
متن کاملair pollution assessment in shiraz by passive sampling techniques
the air quality in shiraz was assessed based on a one-week passive sampling campaign.during the first week of the summer 2003, about 400 passive samplers were used in groups of two andthree, so that 187 sampling stations covered all of shiraz. pollutant gases including so2, no2 and btx(benzene, toluene and xylene) were sampled by diffusive sampling tubes. collected samples wereanalyzed and poll...
متن کاملRecent Advances in Microextraction Methods for Sampling and Analysis of Volatile Organic Compounds in Air: A Review
Human exposures to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are associated with a wide range of health problems. Due to these adverse effects of VOCs on the human health, determination of trace levels of VOCs is very important for accurate assessment of indoor and outdoor exposure. Solid phase microextraction (SPME), needle trap device (NTD) and hollow fiber- liquid phase microextraction (HF-LPME) are...
متن کاملCalibration and field performance of triolein embedded acetate membranes for passive sampling persistent organic pollutants in water.
Triolein embedded cellulose acetate membrane (TECAM) passive samplers provide potentially powerful tool for monitoring time weighted average concentrations (C(TWA)) of trace hydrophobic organic contaminants in water. To study the field performance of TECAM, exchange kinetics of chemicals between water and TECAM were studied at different temperature and water flow rates. Results showed that the ...
