Term: Vapor Sampling
Definition: The process of collecting trace vapor organics from ambient air using adsorbents to trap analytes for further analysis.
Term: Adsorption
Definition: The process by which molecules adhere to the surface of an adsorbent material, allowing for the collection of vapors for analysis.
Term: Desorption
Definition: The process of releasing the trapped analytes from the adsorbent into a gas or liquid phase to facilitate analysis.
Term: Breakthrough Curve
Definition: A graphical representation of the relationship between the volume of air sampled and the concentration of analytes detected, indicating the saturation point of an adsorbent.
