A literature review of the sampling and analysis methods for toxic organic pollutants in air was completed. The purpose of the review was to provide guidance to the California Air Resources Board (CARB) in the selection of sampling and analysis methodologies for selected toxic organic pollutants in air. Sampling and analysis methods for 38 compounds or classes of compounds were reviewed. Discussions on sampling strategies, sampling methods, analytical methods, determination of detection limits, quality-control and quality-assurance procedures, and validation criteria were incorporated into the review. A summary of the physical and chemical properties of the compounds of interest is also included. Methodology developed by the EPA, NIOSH, CARB, other government agencies, and the private sector served as a resource for the review.
