INTRODUCTION
The SKC Deployable Cartridge Sampler (DCS) System is a compact, portable,
and batt ery-operated sampling system that ensures the ability to sample gaseous
polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polyhalogenated dibenzo-p-dioxins
(PHDDs), and polyhalogenated dibenzofurans (PHDFs) and particulate-associated
PHDDs and PHDFs in ambient air. The system features the fully programmable
constant fl ow Leland Legacy Sample Pump and an easy-to-use sampling head
that houses a stainless steel cartridge. The cartridge can be loaded with a 47-mm
quartz fi lter and PUF (EPA TO-9A) or XAD

charger (100-240 V), sampling head, calibration adapter, rain cover, sample tubing with quick-connect
fi tt ing, calibration tubing, and mounting bracket in a heavy-duty lockable carry case. Two external
