This review summarises literature concerned with the application of passive dosimeters used for the estimation of the extent of pollution of outdoor and indoor air by organic compounds. The effect of parameters such as tempera ture, relative humidity, air movement, and fluctuation in the concentration of the analytes during pre-concentration in two fundamental types of dosimeters (diffusion and permeation devices) is discussed. Examples of the use of com mercially available dosimeters for air sampling combined with the simulta neous enrichment of the analytes prior to their final determination by various analytical techniques are given.

Key Words: Diffusive samplers • Permeation dosimeters • Passive dosimeters • Validation
