Annotation
Passive sampling of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in water, air and soil becomes more and more popular. Advantages of these methods are evident: passive samplers are cheap and simple to deploy, they can be exposed anywhere, because no electricity is needed - the flow of organic pol1utant from the sampled medium to the sampler is driven by the difference of chemical potentials. For the quantitation, the values of calibration constants called "Sampling Rates" are needed. We tried to evaluate the Sampling Rate values for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons on the base of comparison of their amounts sequestered by SPMDs with varying exposition period and the results obtained from co-located continual active samplers. An attempt to set up the model describing the transport of pollutants from air to the device was also made.
