Short-term storability of volatile organic compounds in bag sampling systems under ambient conditions.

Although bag sampling is a common quantification tool for volatile organic compounds (VOCs), it can serve as a major source of experimental bias, when storing even over a short duration (<24 h). To learn more about the reliability of the bag sampling method, the temporal stability of 27 VOCs (classified into five groups (i.e.

The feasibility and temporal storability of gas phase standards of volatile organic compounds prepared through liquid phase vaporization in polyester aluminum bags at room temperature.

Currently, the presence of many classes of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in indoor air is well recognized. There is an impetus to accurately quantify airborne VOCs for the proper assessment of their human health risks. VOC standards prepared in a solvent are often vaporized in N gas-filled sampling bags for external calibration as the use of grab sampling bags is a common practice for the collection of real ambient air samples.
