ITRC defines passive sampling as using a device that acquires a sample from a discrete location without inducing active media transport. The new guidance combines the four previous ITRC Passive Sampling documents and includes updates to the technologies into one comprehensive document that evaluates 24 passive sampling technologies. The document explores the use of these technologies and application of the data gathered to all phases of environmental remediation.
The document is intended to be used by regulators and stakeholders currently sampling environmental media at sites undergoing evaluation, remediation, or monitoring for compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
Additionally, the new guidance includes case studies to aid in your selection of passive sampling technologies and a series of how-to videos about several of the technologies. Note that additional videos will be added to the series throughout the fall.
