Use this PUF/Tenax sorbent combination tube for sampling
compounds with high vapor pressure. It also allows the simultaneous
measurement of many airborne chemicals that can contribute
to Sick Building Syndrome (SBS).

See the SKC EPA Air Sampling
Guide for a complete list of specific compounds for
each method.
|
| Note: |
PUF tubes used in the Statements of Work
for Superfund sites must be used and analyzed within 14
days of being cleaned. |
| Note: |
EPA methods allow some flexibility accommodating
similar sampling protocols, however, such flexibility places
documentation responsibility on the user. For a detailed
explanation, refer to the methods. |
