Abstract
Disclosed herein is a variable soil sampling device which may be customized with respect to sampling rate and sorbent material used. Multiple variable sampling devices may be attached to each other to simultaneously sample different components or contaminants in the same time period.
Claims20
A variable soil sampling device comprising:
- a) a first sampling body comprising a top end configured to receive a top cap, an outer perimeter with one or more holes, and an opening defining a space where a first sorbent is placed, said first sampling body having a first permeability;
- b) a second sampling body comprising a bottom end configured to receive an end cap, an outer perimeter with one or more holes, and an opening defining a space where a second sorbent is placed, said second sampling body having a second permeability;
- and
- c) a first coupler that connects a bottom end of the first sampling body to a top end of the second sampling body,
- wherein the first permeability and the second permeability are different.

A variable soil sampling device comprising:
- a) a first sampling body having an opening and a space where a first sorbent is placed;
- b) a first barrier side in the first sampling body comprising one or more holes, the first barrier side having a first permeability;
- c) a second sampling body having an opening and a space where a second sorbent is placed;
- d) a second barrier side in the second sampling body having a second set of one or more holes, the second barrier side having a second permeability;
- and
- e) a first connector on the second sampling body that connects the second sampling body to the first sampling body,
- wherein the first permeability and the second permeability are different.
4 more elements
A variable soil sampling device comprising:
- a) a first sampling body comprising a front side and a back side on an outer perimeter, each of the front and back sides having one or more holes, and an opening defining a space where a first sorbent is placed, said first sampling body having a first permeability;
- b) a second sampling body comprising a front side and a back side on an outer perimeter, each of the front and back sides having one or more holes, and an opening defining a space where a second sorbent is placed, said second sampling body having a second permeability;
- and
- c) a first connector on the second sampling body that connects the second sampling body to the first sampling body, the first connector comprising a first protrusion inserted into the opening of the first sampling body at one end thereof and a second protrusion inserted into the opening of the second sampling body at one end thereof.
