What Does PSD Stand For?

PSD stands for Passive Sampling Device

PSD, or Passive Sampling Device, refers to a technology used in environmental monitoring to collect samples of contaminants or pollutants from air, water, or soil without the need for active pumping or flow systems. These devices function by relying on natural processes, such as diffusion, to allow contaminants to enter and accumulate within a sorbent or collection medium over a specific period. PSDs are widely utilized in research and regulatory assessments to evaluate exposure levels and assess environmental quality, offering a cost-effective and efficient means of sampling compared to traditional active methods.
