Abstract:		"Pumped sorbent tube sampling is a well established method for the sampling of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and semi volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) in ambient, indoor and workplace atmospheres(1). Safe sampling volumes and breakthrough volumes have been published for commonly found VOCs on widely used sorbents such as Tenax, however for newer sorbents and less commonly found VOCs there is less robust data. The Safe Sampling Volumes (SSVs) were determined from 15 tests of Retention Volume on 12 VOCs across the 3 sorbents. VOCs tested were: Aldehydes (C(5), C(6), C(8), C(9)), Ketones (C(4), C(6)), Alcohols (C(3), C(4)), Furan, Limonene, Isoprene and Ethyl Acetate. 12 VOC / sorbent combinations gave SSVs large enough for practical sampling of indoor atmospheres, while SSVs for Furan on Carbopack-X, Isovaleraldehyde on Tenax TA and Methyl Ethyl Ketone on Tenax TA gave SSVs that were too small to be of practical use. This work identifies suitable sorbents and sampling volumes for the complete range of species tested"
