      Active sampling methodology for atmospheric monitoring of cyclic volatile methylsiloxanes (cVMS) was improved to reduce sampling artifacts. A new sorbent, ABN Express (ABN), was evaluated for storage stability and measurement accuracy. Storage stability of cVMS on ABN showed less than 1% degradation of the individual <sup>13</sup>C-labelled octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (<sup>13</sup>C<sub>4</sub>-D4), ...
