Diffusion Samplers: Site Screening

The following links provide site screening guidance and tools for in the determining whether diffusion sampling might be appropriate for a given application:

Technical Decision Analysis for the Potential Use of Passive Diffusion Bag Samplers for Long-Term Monitoring - The Interstate Technology and Council (ITRC) has prepared a series of questions in the form of a decision tree intended to help quickly screen sites for the suitable use of diffusion samplers (ITRC, 2002a).

Recommendations for the Use of Polyethylene Diffusion Bag Samplers For the Long-Term Monitoring of Volatile Organic Compounds in Groundwater - guidelines and recommendations on the use of diffusion samplers including site characteristics suitable for their use (ITRC, 2002b).

User's Guide for Polyethylene-Based Passive Diffusion Bag Samplers to Obtain Volatile Organic Compound Concentrations in Wells (Part I, Part II) - guidelines and recommendations on the use of diffusion samplers including site characteristics suitable for their use (Vroblesky, D.A., 2001a).
