This chapter reviews the literature information on analytical techniques and laboratory equipment used for active sampling of air (atmospheric and indoor) in regular monitoring research. It describes popular analytical devices applied for sample collection using various types of polymeric bags, e.g. Tedlar bags, Teflon or Nafion bags, and/or stainless steel vacuum containers. It reviews literature data about the application of various types of sorption media and cryogenic traps for the collection of analytes from air samples in terms of analytical approach and monitoring of organic compounds (e.g. volatile organic compounds) present in outdoor and indoor air. This chapter also contains information about in-situ monitoring devices like mobile and portable gas chromatographs and hand-held analytical instruments, which can be applied directly in the field measurements. Moreover, it presents the characteristics of measurements conducted with the use of automatic on-line analyzers installed on air quality monitoring stations.
