Summary
On the example of the previously tested method of nitrogen dioxide determination in ambient air two aspects of wind influence on the badge-type sampler performance were discussed: an appropriate design of the sampler eliminating any open recess over the face of the sampler and so called “starvation effect” i.e. decrease in the mass of analyte absorbed by the sampler at wind velocities below 20 cm/s. The wind effect on the performance of the passive sampler has been diminished from about 150% to maximum 20%.
