Analytic matrix

The item enables to choose the data set with comparable concentration units.

Air (sample)

Ambient air sampled by passive air samplers. The samplers are usually exposed for 1 or 3 months; the concentration level measured corresponds to the sampling duration. Information about the sampling duration is always required.

Analytic submatrix:

  • Ambient air – passive (sample)

Back to top

Air (volume)

Ambient air sampled by active air samplers (HiVol, LowVol) and also passive sampling results that were recalculated per cubic meter to allow mutual comparability of the air-active and air-passive data.

Analytic submatrix:

  • Ambient air – passive (volume)
  • Ambient air – active
  • Ambient air – active -gas phase
  • Ambient air – active - particles PM10
  • Ambient air – active - particles TSP

Human

Breast milk samples from all over the world have been analyzed for POPs (PCBs, PCDD/PCDFs, dl-PCBs, HBCDs and PBBs) since 1987. First, sampling was organized by WHO only (first to third round), then collaboration with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) has begun. Three different data types are included in GENASIS: individual, pooled and spatially aggregated. Sampling has been performed in more than 70 countries.
