Summary
Passive samplers for gases use the motion of the gas molecules themselves to furnish the energy for the transfer of gases from the ambient air to a suitable collecting medium. There is no need for pumps, flow regulators, batteries, or other power supplies. Thus the passive sampler can be made much smaller, lighter, less expensive, and much simpler to use and maintain than active samplers. However, passive samplers cannot be used to sample particulates, which, at the particle sizes encountered in industrial or community air, have coefficients of diffusion that are many orders of magnitude lower than those for gas molecules.
