What term means collection and analysis of airborne contaminants?

• A. Waterborne
• B. Air Sampling
• C. Short-term care facility
• D. Soft wall system

Answer: (B)

Air sampling means collecting and analyzing samples of air to detect airborne contaminants such as microbes, dust, or chemical vapors. This is the term that directly describes both the collection of air samples and their laboratory analysis to determine what is present and at what levels, which helps assess exposure risk and verify ventilation and filtration performance. The other options don’t fit because waterborne refers to contaminants in water, a short-term care facility is a type of setting, and a soft wall system is a construction feature, not an activity related to sampling.
