Luca wants to identify and quantity the chemicals causing air pollution in a city, but he is using a manual air sampler to collet air sample.

Why should he update his current sampler to an electronic one?

Answer

Manual samplers are prone to effects of temperature, speed of wind and air concentrations.

Explanation

Manual samplers face several challenges that can act as drawbacks to obtaining accurate results. They are subjected to effects of sampling duration where long sampling times are needed to obtain adequate mass for detection. Manual samplers face challenges when measuring non-volatile species because particles are observed into the adsorption medium at a slower rate of diffusion.
