VOC Air Monitoring Technology and its Application to

Robust and easy-to-use soil gas sampler. The VOC-Mole is a stainless steel assembly that is inserted into the ground, allowing soil gas to be sampled onto a sorbent tube, for analysis by thermal desorption (TD)–GC–MS.The VOC-Mole is simple to use and easy to transport, and perfect for any analyst wishing to monitor levels of volatile organic compounds in soil.Features: Organic pollutants pass through holes in the hollow tube and are collected on a sorbent tube. Probe can be left in ground for long periods. Compatible with diffusive and pumped sampling. Use of multiple VOC-Moles in a grid arrangement allows the creation of VOC maps. Special cap prevents ingress of water, wildlife and soil debris. Various pack sizes and probe lengths available. Applications: Surveys of industrial, waste and brownfield sites. Screening of organic pollutants over large areas. Pinpointing of leaks from pipelines and industrial facilities.
