Short description:

This guidance contains protocols for five passive sampling technologies. “Passive sampling” is synonymous with “no-purge sampling.” The technologies included in this document include Snap Sampler™ and Hydrasleeve™ (grab-type well water samplers); regenerated-cellulose dialysis membrane sampler and rigid, porous polyethylene sampler (diffusion/equilibrium-type samplers), and GORE™ Module (a diffusion and sorption–type sampler). These three categories or types of passive samplers are described in detail in the precursor to this document, Technology Overview of Passive Sampler Technologies (DSP-4, ITRC 2006). That overview document and other supporting information are included on a CD in an envelope on the back cover of this document.
