Monitoring the air quality around an oil refinery through the use of diffusive sampling
Diffusive sampling has been used to study the spatial distribution of SO2, NO2, NOx, NH3 and BTX (benzene, toluene and xylenes) near an oil refinery located in Falconara, Italy, over the period from March to Octo...

Laboratory development and field evaluation of a new diffusive sampler to collect nitrogen oxides in the ambient air
Diffusive samplers for the determination of NOx and NO2 based on collection on a coated carbon paper filter have been developed. NO is first oxidized to NO2 and then collected on the reactive surface. When NO2 a...
