Evaluation of an organic automated rain sampler / W.M.J. Strachan and H. Huneault.: En36-503/128E-PDF

"An automated rain sampler has been designed, built and evaluated as a collecting device for persistent organic chemicals in rain. It consists of a large Teflon-coated funnel (0.209 m²) with an automated lid and a Teflon column containing XAD-2 or XAD-7 resin. The sampler was tested for recoveries and field precision with a number of organochlorine substances and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB’s) frequently found at the nanogram per litre level in rain. Recoveries averaged 86% and the mean coefficient of variation for αz-BHC, lindane and PCB's was 33% under field conditions where samples of 0.4-22 L of rain were collected. The sampler is recommended for use in network sampling for these persistent organic compounds"--Abstract, p. v.
