1. Open the pouch and remove the sampler. Do not discard the pouch, instead store it in a clean, organic solvent-free environment.

2. Record the following information:

   • Sample ID on the pouch and sampler ID label
   • Sampling location on the pouch
   • Date the sample was taken on the pouch
   • Indoors: Clip the sampler(s) to the stand accessory 3a (Cat. No. 690-302) and position it at the appropriate height.
   • Outdoors: Clip the sampler(s) inside a shelter that is open on two ends and the bottom to allow air to flow freely. Hang the shelter securely at the appropriate height. Clip the sampler(s) in the appropriate location:
     Ensure that the diffusion holes in the sampler are not obstructed in any way.

3. Start sampling by sliding the sampler cover to the open position (diffusion holes visible). Write the sample start time on the pouch label.

4. Stop sampling by sliding the sampler cover to the closed position (arrow and SKC visible). Write the sample stop time on the pouch label.
   Important: Measure and record the ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure. Include this information when sending the samples to the laboratory.

5. Immediately after sampling, place the sampler in its resealable pouch. Make sure that the sample ID on the sampler matches the sample ID on the pouch.

6. Seal the pouch(es) and place them in a container with a cool pack.

7. Use expedited shipping to send the sample(s), pertinent information, and Chain of Custody form(s) to a laboratory for analysis.

   a. Indoors : Clip sampler(s) to stand accessory (Cat. No. 690-302) and locate at the appropriate height. b. Outdoors : Clip sampler(s) inside the shelter (open on two ends and bottom to allow air to flow freely). Hang shelter securely at the appropriate height.
   Ensure diffusion holes in the sampler are not obstructed in any way.

4. Start sampling: Slide sampler cover to open position (diffusion holes visible). Write sample start time on pouch label.

5. Stop sampling: Slide the sampler cover to the closed position (arrow and SKC visible). Write sample stop time on pouch label.
   Important : Measure and record ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure. Include information sent to the laboratory.

6. Place the sampler in its resealable pouch immediately after sampling.
   Ensure the sample ID on the sampler matches the sample ID on the pouch.

7. Seal pouch(es). Place pouch(es) in a container with a cool pack.

8. Use expedited shipping to send sample(s), pertinent information, and Chain of Custody form(s) to a laboratory for analysis.
