Passive samplers can be used to monitor the transport of substances within textiles, from the indoor environment into textiles, or from textiles into water. The basic characteristics of passive samplers include their capacity and the description of distribution between the sampler and the sampled medium. This can be expressed using distribution coefficients, which represent the ratio of equilibrium concentrations in the medium and in the sampler, and are specific to each substance under given conditions. The objectives of this work are 1) to prepare a review of the properties of a selected textile with an emphasis on interaction with chemical substances, 2) to design and test the possibility of homogeneously adding selected substances to textiles, 3) to plan and conduct an experiment to quantify the distribution coefficients of selected substances under controlled conditions, and 4) to discuss the potential use of passive samplers for monitoring transport between textiles and other media, and identify the challenges in using them for this purpose.
