Steel-teflone and quartz-teflone samplers are most popular nowadays, recommended by their producers as the ones that do not affect the chemical composition of collected moisture. Field comparative detection examination of two mentioned types of samplers shows considerable differences between concentration of particular elements in the moisture. An experiment was held during vegetative season 2002, on loess upland, in the centre of small blind drainage. Samplers were set on the 1.5 m depth, with the horizontal span of 2 m. In the obtained moisture, concentration of 9 elements (Ca, Na, K, Si, Mn, Fe, Ti, Sn, Mg) was examined, using ICP MS method. Experiment results show differences in average concentration and variability in concentration of particular elements in the moisture51
