Samplers, American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), D 6246,
1998. Order at www.astm.org.
- ISO: Workplace Atmospheres - Protocol for Evaluating the Performance
of Diffusive Samplers, International Organization for Standardization
(ISO), ISO/FDIS 16107, 1999. Order at www.iso.ch.
- Diffusive Samplers - for more detailed sampler design:
