Sampling bag은 비교적 저렴한 가격으로 쉽게 구할 수 있어 VOC 및 악취물질을 분석할 때 널리 사용되고 있다. 그러나 저농도의 분석에서는 흡착으로 인한 농도 변화가 일어날 수 있어 분석결과에 큰 영향을 줄 수 있다고 알려져 있다. 그러나, bag내부에서의 안정도에 대한 충분한 조사가 이루어져 있지 않아 VOC 화합물이 얼마나 bag에서 안정성의 문제가 있는지에 대한 정량적인 이해가 매우 부족한 실정이다. (중략)

In this work, sample loss of reduced sulfur compounds (RSC) was investigated with respect to bag sampling techniques. For comparison purpose, calibration slopes were obtained by analyzing standards prepared by 'within syringe dilution' (WSD) method against those made either by 'Tedlar bag dilution' (TBD) or by 'polyester aluminum bag dilution' (PBD) method. The results indicated that the recovery rate of TBD showed the mean values of about 87%, while those of PBD about 77%. Despite the fact that sample loss is inevitable, precise sampling of reduced sulfur compounds may still be possible, if one acknowledges and be prepared for such loss rates of bag sampling methods.

대기중에 존재하는 미량의 극성 유기화합물들은 비극성 유기화합물 보다는 반응성이 크고 불안정하므로 이를 채취하여 분석하는 과정이 매우 어려운 실정이다. 일반적으로 sampling에 자주 사용되는 stainless steel로 특수 내면처리 시킨 canister를 이용하였으나 이 방법에 의한 시료 채취방법은 고가의 비용이 소요되며, 반응성이 큰 VOC의 경우에는 성분에 따라 안정도가 낮은 경우도 많다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 대기 시료를 bag 이나 캐니스터와 같은 용기로서 채취하여 측정할 경우 극성 VOC 성분이 얼마나 안정하게 유지될수 있는지를 조사하고저 하였다.

Trimethylamine (TMA) is one of the difficult odorous compounds for the collection and analysis. Although sulfuric acid absorption and/or sulfuric acid impregnated filter method are commonly recommended for its sampling, these methods also suffer from difficulties involved in sample treatment and operational procedures. Hence, as an ancillary approach to measure TMA, we investigated the combination of bag sampling and SPME analysis for TMA measurements. For the purpose of our study, we investigated the following three subjects: 1) temporal variability of standard storage, 2) bag loss effect of TMS, and 3) TMA loss due to repetitive analysis of an identical bag sample. According to our storage test up to 7 or 20 dyas, TMA loss were found to occur up to 40 to 50% within relatively short period of up to 48 hrs depending on its concentration ranges. When the tests were made for bag loss by transferring TMA standards across different size bags, we were able to find that the extent of bag loss are not significant with 5 to 20% loss rate. Finally, the TMA sorptive loss via its exposure to SPME fiber was generally estimated to run from 2 to 3%.

The measurement of VOSCs(volatile organic sulfur compounds) in the air is nowadays a very important environmental research field. It is, however, very difficult because the concentration of the VOSC in ambient air is usually very low and the high reactivity makes it difficult to keep in container without loss of recovery. In this study, sampling method with cryogenic preconcentration is evaluated for analysis of atmospheric VOSC such as $CH_3SH,\;CH_3CH_2SH,\;CH_3SCH_3,\;CS_2,\;CH_3SSCH_3,\;CH_3SCH_2SCHA_3,\;and\;C_2H_5SSC_2H_5$ analyzed by GC-MS or GC-FID. Repeatabilities of measurement accompanied with preconcentration for 3-successive runs were in the range of 0.2~1.0% as a relative standard deviation. Stabilities up to 13 days were measured in 6 L canister and 10 L tedlar bag filled with VOSCs in ppb level. Higher stability was observed in tedlar bag as compared to canister with glass coated inner walls, and thiol compounds show dramatic losses in canister within 2~3 days. It is found that recovery over 70% was obtained in a week for all tested VOSCs when the compounds from ambient air matrix were stored in tedlar bag. It is also found that the stabilities of VOSCs are depending on humidity and coexisting compounds in matrix gas due to sample adsorption onto inner surface and reactivity. The results indicate the possibility and limitations of VOSC analysis in ambient air using container sampling method with cryogenic preconcentration.

In this study, storage stability of reduced sulfur compounds ($H_2S$, $CH_3SH$, DMS, $CS_2$, and DMDS) and $SO_2$ in sampling bags was investigated in terms of two contrasting storage approaches between forward (F) and reverse (R) direction. The samples for the F method were prepared at the same time and analyzed sequentially through time. In contrast, those of reverse (R) method were prepared sequentially in advance and analyzed all at once upon the preparation of the last sample. In addition, relative performance between two different bag materials (PVF and PEA) was also assessed by using 100 ppb standard. The response factors (RF) of gaseous RSC samples were determined by gas chromatography/pulsed flame photometric detector (GC/PFPD) combined with air server (AS)/thermal desorber (TD) system at storage intervals of 0, 1, and 3 days. There is no statistical difference in all RSCs between two storage methods. However, the results of relative recovery indicated 2.58~12.8% differences in compound type between the two storage methods. Moreover, loss rates and storage stability of $H_2S$ and $SO_2$ were considerably affected by bag materials than any other variables. Therefore, some considerations about storage methods (or bag material types) for sulfur compounds are needed if stored by sampling bag method.

Purpose : Methode an effective block was investigated to deal with volatile radioactive gas, short lived radioactive waste generated as a result of the routinely produced radiopharmaceuticals FDG (2-deoxy-2-[$^{18}F$]fluoro-D-glucose) and compound with $^{11}C$. Materials and Methods : All components of the radiation stack monitoring and data management system for continuous radioactive gas detection in the air extract system purchase from fixed noble gas monitor of Berthold company. TEDLAR gas sampling bags purchase from the Dongbanghitech company. TEDLAR gas sampling bags (volume: 10 L) connected via paraflex or PTFE tubing and Teflon 3 way stopcock. When installing TEDLAR gas sampling bags in Hot cell on the inside and not radioactive gas concentrations were compared. According to whether the Hot cell inside a activated carbon filter installed, compare the difference in concentration of the radioactive gas $^{18}F$. Comparison of radiation emission concentration difference of module a FASTlab and TRACElab. Results : Activated carbon filter are installed in the Hot cell, a measure of the concentration of radioactive gas was 8 $Bq/m^3$. Without activated carbone filter in the hot cell was 300 $Bq/m^3$. Tedlar bag prior to installation of the radioactive gases a measure of the concentration was 3,500 $Bq/m^3$, $^{11}C$ synthesis of the measured concentration was 27,000 $Bq/m^3$. After installed a Tedlar bag and a measure concentration of the radioactive gases was 300 $Bq/m^3$ and $^{11}C$ synthesis was 1,000$Bq/m^3$. Conclusion : $^{11}C$ radioactive gas that was ejected out of the Hot cell, with the use of a Tedlar gas sampling bag stored inside. A compound of 11C is not absorbed onto activated carbon filter. But can block the release out by storing in a Tedlar gas sampling bag. We was able to reduce the radiation exposure of the worker by efficient radiation protection.

This paper reports the example of headspace mulberry paper bag micro solid phase extraction (HS-MPB-$\mu$-SPE) as a new sampling method for the determination of volatile flavor composition of coriander seeds. Adsorption efficiencies between two configurations of mulberry paper bag were compared, and several parameters affecting the HS-MPB-$\mu$-SPE were investigated and optimized. The optimized technique uses an adsorbent (Tenax TA, 0.1 mg) contained in a mulberry paper bag of front configuration where fine surface was outside, and minimal amount of organic solvent (0.6 mL). Linalool and $\gamma$-terpinene were found as abundant flavor compounds from coriander seeds. The limit of detection (LOD) and the limit of quantitation (LOQ) for linalool of major flavor in coriander seeds were 10.3 ng/mL and 34.4 ng/mL, respectively. The proposed method showed good reproducibility and good recovery. The HS-MPB-$\mu$-SPE is very simple to use, inexpensive, requires small sample amounts and solvent consumption. Because the solvent for extraction is reduced to only a very small volume, there is minimal waste or exposure to toxic organic solvent and no further concentration step.

휘발성 유기화합물(VOCs)은 인체 위해hi! 밸만 아니라 대기 중에서의 오존 및 광화학 산화물의 농도를 증가시키는 원인 물질로써 맡은 대기환경 연구자들의 연구대상이 되고 있다. 하지만, 그 중요성에도 불구하고 대기 중 미량으로 존재하기 때문에 VOCs의 채취 및 분석은 용이하지만은 않아서 아직까지 완벽한 채취법은 없는 것으로 알려져 있다. 미국의 EPA에서는 VOCs를 채취하기 위한 몇 가지 방법을 제시하고 있는데, 그 대표적인 것이 캐니스터를 이용하는 방법과 흡착관법 그리고 Tedlar-bag을 이용한 방법을 권장하고 있다.

In this study, the $N_2O$, emitted from combustion facility, were analyzed by using simulated gas and field samples to find out how long samples can be stored in Tedlar bag. According to the results of the experiment using simulated gases (1 ppm, 5 ppm, 10 ppm) in Tedlar bag, After 144hr, $N_2O$ concentration of simulated gases changed that 1 ppm is 5.3%, 5 ppm is 12.8%, and 10ppm is 10.5%. The higher initial concentration of simulated gas was, the larger rate of $N_2O$ concentration was changed. In case of high concentration samples, it need to be careful when it was analyzed after 144 hr. Stability evaluation in Tedlar bag was carried out through field samples such as combustion facility of bituminous coal, B-C oil and LNG. The concentration rate of field samples, which is under 1 ppm of average initial concentration, was evaluated using statistical method. As a result, $N_2O$ concentrations were changed to field samples in the bag even when 96 hr had passed. And after sampling, it is necessary that sample analysis should be quickly as soon as possible.
