Abstract: This portable air sampling apparatus includes a Venturi pump creating a vacuum in a suction inlet when compressed air circulates therein; a supply line supplying the Venturi pump with compressed air, including an electrovalve that controls circulation of compressed air in the supply line; a suction line to suction an air sample, having an air circulation member delimiting a chamber for removably receiving a substrate for capturing odorous molecules and suitable for circulating the suctioned air sample through the substrate; and an electronic unit, connected to the electrovalve, controlling its opening and closing so when the electrovalve is opened, compressed air circulates in the supply line through the electrovalve, while when the electrovalve is closed, compressed air circulation in the supply line, between upstream and downstream of the electrovalve, is interrupted by the electrovalve. This enables performing reliable inspections, while being practical and easy to use.
