A method for collecting a volume of air from a controlled environment within a facility, comprising the steps of: providing two or more air sampling devices (216a, 216b, 216c,... 216n) at different locations within the controlled environment; providing a controller at a location outside the controlled environment that includes a port (308a, 308b, 308c,... 308 n) corresponding to each of the two or more air sampling devices (216a, 216b, 216c,...216n), each port (308a, 308b, 308c,... 308 n) having its own dedicated flow switch and tube port in separate fluid communication with its corresponding air sampling device (216a, 216b, 216c,... 216n) via a corresponding air tube, each flow switch being configured to separately monitor fluid flow through its corresponding air sampling device (216a, 216b, 216c,... 216n), and each port (308a, 308b, 308c,... 308n) includes a dedicated timer for monitoring air sampling duration; and providing a vacuum source at a location outside the controlled environment that is in fluid communication with each tube port in the controller via a manifold, wherein the vacuum source, manifold, ports (308a, 308b, 308c,... 308 n), and air tubes are configured to simultaneously draw fluid from two or more of the two or more air sampling devices (216a, 216b, 216c,... 216n); characterized in that the method further comprises: providing a touchpad, within the controlled environment, that is wirelessly connected to the controller and includes a communication device configured to send start and stop signals to the controller to separately turn air flow on and off at different air sampling devices (216a, 216b, 216c,..., 216n) with their corresponding flow switches when collecting the volume of air; communicating start and stop signals from the at least one touchpad to the controller to separately turn air flow on and off at different air sampling devices (216a, 216b, 216c,..., 216n) with their corresponding flow switches to draw a first predetermined volume of fluid through each of the different air sampling devices (216a, 216b, 216c,..., 216n); and starting air sampling cycles, by each of timer of each port (308a, 308b, 308c,... 308n), by issuing commands to open solenoids and start the vacuum pump. providing two or more air sampling devices (216a, 216b, 216c,... 216n) at different locations within the controlled environment;
