Our pilot study aimed to provide an initial evidence base for this issue and reveal compounds of interest within indoor prison air. Here, we present a new method for the detection of synthetic cannabinoids in air and demonstrate its application in a UK prison. Air sampling was conducted using a fixed sequential sampler, alongside personal air sampling units worn by prison officers within an English prison. Air samples were collected onto thermal desorption (TD) tubes and analysed via comprehensive two\u2010dimensional gas chromatography coupled to time\u2010of\u2010flight mass spectrometry (GC\u2009\u00d7\u2009GC\u2010TOF MS). This study is the first of its kind in a prison setting, and the approach is of importance to analytical scientists, policy makers and public health employees tasked with the health and safety of prison staff. GC\u2009\u00d7\u2009GC\u2010TOF MS analysis was able to separate and identify a range of compounds present in the prison air samples. Analysis of the TD tubes did not reveal any synthetic cannabinoids from the fixed pump air samples or the personal pump samples worn by prison officers. Air monitoring in prisons presents a challenge of logistics and science. Fixed sequential air sampling combined with personal air monitoring devices allowed air from multiple locations within a prison to be collected, providing a comprehensive approach to evaluating the air that prison staff is exposed to during a fixed time period.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/dta.3101","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,21]],"date-time":"2021-05-21T13:53:01Z","timestamp":1621605181000},"page":"1678-1685","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Air monitoring for synthetic cannabinoids in a UK prison: Application of personal air sampling and fixed sequential sampling with thermal desorption two\u2010dimensional gas chromatography coupled to time\u2010of\u2010flight mass spectrometry"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5545-3582","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Richard","family":"Paul","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Life and Environmental Science Bournemouth University  Dorset UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Steve","family":"Smith","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Markes International  Llantrisant UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Luke","family":"Gent","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Life and Environmental Science Bournemouth University  Dorset UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ryan","family":"Sutherill","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"SepSolve Analytical  Peterborough UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","unstructured":"Public Health England.New psychoactive substances (NPS) in prisons: A toolkit for prison staff 2015.https:\/\/assets.publishing.service.gov.uk\/government\/uploads\/system\/uploads\/attachment_data\/file\/669541\/9011\u2010phe\u2010nps\u2010toolkit\u2010update\u2010final.pdf.
