Method for sampling and analysis of ambient air - Determination of suspended particulate matter - PM(sub)10(/sub) continuous direct mass method using a tapered element oscillating microbalance analyser
Sets out a method of operating the tapered element oscillating microbalance (TEOM) analyzer to determine suspended particulate matter in ambient air. The method allows continuous oepration, providing near real-time measurements of mean particle concentration over periods from 10 minutes to 24 hours.
