Abstract: Ambient air quality in Benin city was evaluated for their volatile organic compounds concentrations using both active and passive sampling methods. Air samples were collected from six locations comprising industrial, residential and commercial areas with heavy traffic on a four hourly basis for active sampling and a seven day period for the passive sampling. Colle cted samples were desorbed and analysed for volatile organic compounds using gas chromatography with flame ionization detector. A total of 42 VOCs; mainly aliphatic, aromatic, halogenated and oxygenated components were identified using both sampling method s. The result indicated that there is a significant difference between both active and passive sampling methods
