Passive monitoring of VOC in air using ACC / by H.D. Gesser.: NH17-260/1997E-PDF

"This project dealt with developing the method of using activated carbon cloth as a sampler for measuring volatile organic compounds (VOC’s) in air. Strips of carbon cloth mounted in slide holders were tested as diffusive samplers. These were exposed to known concentrations of standard chemicals in test chambers. The adsorbed chemicals were extracted with solvents and analyzed. The tests showed that relative humidity has some effect on adsorption, and carbon cloths from different manufacturers showed some variation in their performance"--Executive summary.
