The ubiquity of organophosphate esters (OPEs) in various environmental matrices inevitably
pose human exposure risks. Numerous studies have investigated human exposure …

During passive air sampling, the amount of a chemical taken up in a sorbent from the air
without the help of a pump is quantified and converted into an air concentration. In an …

Air pollution levels (NO 2, PAHs, O 3) were investigated, before (BLE) and after (ALE) leaf
emergence, in the urban landscape of Gothenburg, Sweden. The aims were to study the 1) …

Concentrations of more than 20 brominated flame retardants (FRs), including
polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and emerging FRs, were measured in air, dust and …

With current science and policy needs, more attention is being given to expanding and
improving air sampling of semivolatile organic contaminants (SVOCs). However, a wide …

The use of passive air samplers (PAS) for semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs)
continues to expand. To advance quantitative understanding of uptake kinetics, we …

Passive air samplers equipped with polyurethane foam (PUF-PAS) are frequently used to
measure persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in ambient air. Here we present and evaluate …

The particle infiltration efficiencies (PIE) of three passive and one active air samplers were
evaluated under field conditions. A wide-range particle spectrometer operating in the 250 …

Halogenated flame retardants (HFRs) are contaminants that are abundantly emitted from
waste management facilities (WMFs) and that became ubiquitous in air of urbanized …

Abstract Near-ground air (26 substances) and surface seawater (55 substances)
concentrations of persistent toxic substances (PTS) were determined in July 2012 in a …
