Abstract:"Semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs), such as phthalates, organophosphates, and polybrominated diphenyl ethers, are emerging as an important class of pollutants that are of serious health concerns. Determining concentrations of these pollutants is of great importance for environmental and exposure studies. In this work, a needle trap device (NTD) method was developed to measure the concentration of SVOCs in air samples. Sorbents were packed in the NTD to capture SVOCs with the aid of a sampling pump. NTD operational parameters, such as desorption temperature, desorption time, and sampling flow rate, were optimized for the target SVOCs. The limit of detection for air sampling by the NTD method ranged between 5 pg and 1 ng, depending on the SVOC compound. The variations in terms of NTD repeatability and reproducibility were lower than 14% for all cases. In addition, the influence of other experimental parameters, such as sampling temperature and humidity, breakthrough volume, NTD storage time, as well as carryover effect were examined. Finally, NTDs were used to determine emissions of gas-phase SVOCs from various consumer products in an emission cell and to collect total airborne SVOC samples (gas and particle phases) in an office. The results of NTD method were in an agreement with data obtained by conventional active sampling methods using Tenax(R) sorbent tubes and polyurethane foam samplers, but with improvements of relative standard deviation, sensitivity, and sampling time. The results demonstrated that the NTD method is a simple, sensitive, effective, reusable, and inexpensive technique for sampling and analyzing SVOCs in the concentration range from 2 ng m(-3) to 100 mug m(-3) in air"
