title: Air monitoring of volatile aromatic compounds by means of long-term exposure diffusive samplers.
abstract: Results obtained by using "Analyst", a long-term diffusive sampler, in some monitoring campaigns, performed for the determination of benzene and the volatile aromatic pollutants, in five cities of the Italian Umbria Region and at the city of Forlì, are presented and discussed. First results of an inter comparison between the "Analyst" and "radial-type" diffusive samplers, carried out by the Regional Agency for the Ambient Protection (ARPA) of Forlì, point out substantial advantages with the long-time sampling devices.
