Is a difference between adding internal standard to ambient sample on quartz fibre filter, before and after ultrasonication and rotary evaporation?

Some of researchers add it before extraction of fibre filter and some do it after the extraction. I want to know the correct way of adding IS to ambient air samples for gc/ms analysis.
