Evaluation of an organic automated rain sampler / by W.M.J. Strachan and H. Huneault.: En36-539/100-1982E-PDF

"An automated rain sampler was designed, built and evaluated as a collecting device for persistent organic chemicals in rain. It consists of a large teflon coated funnel (0.209 m²) with an automated lid and a teflon column containing XAD-2 or 7 resin. The sampler was tested for recoveries and field precision with a number of organochlorine substances and PCB’s frequently found at the nanogram per litre level in rain. Recoveries averaged 86% and the mean coefficient of variation for αz-BHC, lindane and PCB's was 33% under field conditions where samples of 0.4-22 litres of rain were collected. The sampler is recommended for use in network sampling for such substances"--Abstract, p. i.
