Abstract

AbstractThe effectiveness of passive diffusion bag (pdb) samplers in the measurement of selected volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is dependent on a number of factors. At some sites and wells, pdb sampling methods provide an attractive alternative to other sampling methods. In this discussion, I provide two examples of comparisons of temporal trends in tetrachloroethylene (PCE) concentrations from passive and low‐flow sampling methods. At the example field site, large changes in PCE concentrations occurred over the deployment period(s) of the pdb samplers, yet the concentrations from the pdb samples are similar to the low‐flow samples and the overall trends are the same.
