Sampling the atmosphere to analyze contaminants rinated biphenyl released to specific amounts of air had to is different from other environmental matrices because mea- be known to identify the amount of toxic substance inhaled suring the volume of air collected requires a mechanical by the test organism. The air flow was measured by an ori- flow-through device to draw the air and measure its flow fice calibrator that enabled the volume of air to be known rate. The device used must have the capability of concen- over a certain time period. Although the orifice calibrator is trating the analytes of interest onto a different substrate be- mentioned in this report, TI - Derivation of flow rate and calibration method for high-volume air samplers JF - Atmospheric Measurement Techniques DO - 10.5194/amt-12-4725-2019 DA - 2019-09-05 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/unpaywall/derivation-of-flow-rate-and-calibration-method-for-high-volume-air-M0Sp0dZ0d5 DP - DeepDyve ER -
