Language: English 2. Description Value: The data contain concentration values of contaminants in air samples. The concentration were determined using two sampling mode: either passive or active followed by thermal desorption with gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. The active sampling included up to 20 samples, and the passive sampling a total of 6. Both sampling procedures and data is collected in different sites near to the petrochemical area 3. Subject: Chemistry 4. Keywords: Keyword Value: sampling Keyword Vocabulary: DECS Keyword Value: contamiannts Keyword Vocabulary: loc 5. Notes Text: Active = active sampling mode Passive = passive sampling mode Concentration in ug/m3 0 concentration means non detected compound 6.
