Abstract:
In response to global climate change, China recently committed to achieving peak carbon emissions by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060. Carbon emission reduction should be considered in every sector of society including environmental monitoring. As an energy-saving technique in environmental monitoring, passive sampling has many advantages, such as in-situ sampling and a reduction in time/labour requirements. This perspective illustrates the "greenness" of passive sampling techniques, by comparison with traditional sampling methods, and its potential contribution to the 'dual carbon' goal. At the same time passive sampling can provide key support for the action plan for controlling emerging pollutants in China.

Sampling Methods: Sample Types
Solid samples include a variety of substances, such as sediments from water bodies, soil, metals, and biological tissues. Two standard methods for extracting sediments from water bodies are grab sampling and piston coring. Grab sampling involves using a device to collect a discrete sediment sample from the bottom of a water body with minimal disturbance. Grab samples do not always represent the entire area due to...
