13. ABSTRACT (Maximum 200 words)
Current protocols for decontaminating devices used to sample groundwater for organic contaminants are re-
viewed. Most of the methods given by regulatory agencies provide little scientific evidence that justify the
recommended protocols. In addition, only a few studies that actually compared various decontamination proto-
cols could be found in the open literature, and those studies were limited in their scope. Various approaches for
decontamination and criteria that are important in determining how effectively a surface could be decontami-
nated are discussed.
