Passive sampling semi-permeable membrane devices (SPMDs) were used to collect air samples from a hair salon in Eastern Oregon. SPMDs were deployed for just over 30 days in a local boutique. Following deployment, the SPMDs were retrieved and returned to the laboratory. SPMDs were then dialyzed with hexane to remove volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The dialysate was then reduced in volume and analyzed.  Identification and quantification of VOCs was carried out using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).
