| Abstract: | Ambient air quality in Benin city was evaluated for their volatile
organic compounds concentrations using both
active and passive
sampling methods. Air samples were collected from six locations
comprising industrial, residential and commercial areas with heavy
traffic on a four hourly basis for active sampling and a seven day
period for the passive sampling. Colle
cted samples were desorbed and
analysed for volatile organic compounds using gas chromatography
with flame ionization detector. A total of 42 VOCs; mainly aliphatic,
aromatic, halogenated and oxygenated components were identified
using both sampling method
s. The result indicated that there is a
significant difference between both active and passive sampling
methods |
