Outdoor Ambient Air
The MerPAS® sampler fitted with the white body diffusive barrier is best used for sampling outdoor ambient air of low to intermediate mercury concentrations (0-50 ng/m3). The sampling rate of the white-bodied outdoor sampler is 0.132 m3/day. This sampling rate coupled with the high trapping capacity of the MerPAS® substrate allows sampling intervals from 1 week up to 1 year. With air concentrations in a higher range of 50 to 1000 ng/m3, the sampler deployment time can be shortened to intervals of less than one week. For general guidelines to choose the appropriate MerPAS® sampling configuration, see the Estimated Sampling Intervals table accessed in the “Download Fact Sheet” button below.
