Abstract |
Quality Assurance (QA) is an important prerequisite to the enhancement of the analytical data produced by
different operators or by different instrumentation. Especially, the selection of a sampling technique is crucial
to ensure the subjectiveness of the analysis. In this study, the analytical technique for four volatile organic compounds
(VOC) including: benzene, toluene, p-xylene, and styrene was investigated by evaluating the relationship
between two different analytical sampling methods (i.e, adsorption tube vs Tedlar bag method). For
this purpose, the same working standard of VOC was prepared and collected simultaneously by the Tedlar bag
and the tube method. The reliability of each sampling method was then assessed by analytical results derived
each approach. The reproducibility of analytical method, estimated in terms of (relative standard error (RSE
%)), showed that both methods can maintain below values 5% level. The results of this study indicate that both
sampling approaches are highly comparable to each other. The results of this study suggest that both tube
method and Tedlar bag method are compiling well. |
