Introducing Eyewear Lenses as Passive Samplers for Assessing Inhalation Exposure to Airborne Chemicals

Wearable passive samplers are inexpensive tools for assessing personal exposure to diverse contaminants through a combination of exposure pathways. This versatility, however, can be a disadvantage when it is critical to assess a specific pathway. Here, we aim to develop eyewear lenses as passive samplers that can capture inhalation exposure as a primary pathway for airborne contaminants. We designed polycarbonate lens samplers with and without …
