The sampl<strong>in</strong>g tra<strong>in</strong> consists of a cassette that will collect <strong>the</strong> PAHs <strong>in</strong> particulate<br />

<strong>for</strong>m, followed by a tube that will adsorb <strong>the</strong> PAHs <strong>in</strong> vapour <strong>for</strong>m. This tube is<br />

connected directly to <strong>the</strong> pump by Tygon tub<strong>in</strong>g. After sampl<strong>in</strong>g, <strong>the</strong> samples<br />

must be stored <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> freezer protected from light. The tubes and filters must be<br />

shipped toge<strong>the</strong>r. Ten hydrocarbons are determ<strong>in</strong>ed simultaneously:<br />
