This article focuses on sampling and analysis of low-mass glycol ethers and their acetates, which are emitted during the process of cataphoresis. The initiative for measurements were complaints by residents living near to cataphoresis facilities of intermitent episodes of annoying odour, probably originating from the said facilities. Active and passive sampling was used. The negative impact of cataphoresis on the surrounding environment was confirmed.

Keywords: ambient air sampling, annoying odour substances, glycol ethers
