According to the requirements of “Ambient air and waste gasDetermination of arsenic, selenium, bismuth, antimony in ambient particle matterAtomic fluoresscene spectrometry” ( HJ 1133—2020), nine different kinds of filter membranes which were used to collect arsenic in ambient air were compared with each other from their background values, recoveries, detection limits, precision and accuracy. Taking the performance and cost into consideration, the domestic filter membrane made from nylon, nitratecellulose or mixed fiber were recommended. These domestic products are easily purchased with lower price, and their detection limits are 0.2 ng/m³, precision and accuracy can meet the requirement set by the standard method.
