Abstract: Abstract Polyurethane foam (PUF) passive air samplers (PAS) are widely used for measurements of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and other semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) in large-scale monitoring networks as well as in case studies around the globe. Calibration of PUF-PAS is performed by field-based calibration studies or passive sampler uptake models, but both these are typically performed and/or validated in temperate zones, while the sampling rates are more widely applied, including in tropical and polar zones. Here, we present ...
