26、2014EN 12341:2014 (E) 5 Introduction For air quality across the European Union to be assessed on a consistent basis, Member States need to employ standard measurement techniques and procedures. The aim of this European Standard is to present a harmonized methodology for monitoring the mass concentra

27、tions of suspended particulate matter (PM10and PM2,5respectively) in ambient air, following Directive 2008/50/EC on ambient air quality and cleaner air for Europe 1 which sets the parameters specific to the assessment of ambient concentration levels of particulate matter. NOTE In principle, the meth

28、odology described in this European Standard may also be used for measurement of mass concentrations of other PM fractions such as PM1. However, this European Standard does not describe standardized sampling inlets for such fractions. This European Standard merges the earlier European Standards EN 12

29、341:1998 2 and EN 14907:2005 3 with the aim of harmonizing the very similar procedures that are used to measure mass concentrations of both fractions of particulate matter in ambient air. The European Standard method described in this European Standard is focussed primarily on harmonization and impr

30、ovement of the data quality of measurement methods used in monitoring networks, with regard to avoiding unnecessary discontinuities with historical data. It is a method that is suited for practical use in routine monitoring, but not necessarily the method with the highest metrological quality. There

31、 are no traceable reference standards for PM10or PM2,5measurements. Therefore, the standard method defines the measured quantity by convention, specifically by the sample inlet design and associated operational parameters covering the whole measurement process. This European Standard contains: a des

32、cription of a manual gravimetric standard measurement method for PM10or PM2,5using sequential samplers or single-filter samplers; a summary of performance requirements of the method; requirements for suitability testing of facilities and equipment on initial application of the method; requirements f

33、or ongoing quality assurance / quality control when applying the method in the field; the assessment of measurement uncertainty of the results of this European Standard method; (tentative) criteria and test methods for the evaluation of the suitability of filters for application using this method. T

34、he performance characteristics and requirements described in this European Standard were partly determined in different comparative and validation trials. The trials were sponsored by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association. However, for lack of appropriate criteria and proto

35、cols to test filters for fitness for purpose, considerable differences may exist between results obtained when using different filter types, and even filters of the same type. For example, differences of up to 15 % have been found when applying different brands of quartz-fibre filters in parallel me

36、asurements of PM10for concentrations around 50 % of the daily limit value 4. This may have implications for results produced by automated measurement systems as these are calibrated by comparison of results with those obtained using reference samplers (CEN/TS 16450:2013 5). In principle, the filters

37、 collected for the purpose of determining the mass concentrations of PM10or PM2,5can be used for further speciation, e.g. for the determination of concentrations of: heavy metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (see EN 14902 6 and EN 15549 7) in conformity with Directive 2004/107/EC 8, BS EN 12

38、341:2014EN 12341:2014 (E) 6 constituents of PM2,5(see CEN/TR 16243 9 and CEN/TR 16269 10) to be used for source apportionment as required by Directive 2008/50/EC. Additional requirements might have to be considered for those purposes (e.g. blank values of chemical constituents). However, the require

39、ments of this European Standard are targeted firstly towards obtaining optimum results for the measurement of mass concentrations of PM10or PM2,5. BS EN 12341:2014EN 12341:2014 (E) 7 1 Scope This European Standard describes a standard method for determining the PM10or PM2,5mass concentrations of sus

40、pended particulate matter in ambient air by sampling the particulate matter on filters and weighing them by means of a balance. Measurements are performed with samplers with inlet designs as specified in Annex A, operating at a nominal flow rate of 2,3 m3/h, over a nominal sampling period of 24 h. M

41、easurement results are expressed in g/m3, where the volume of air is the volume at ambient conditions near the inlet at the time of sampling. The range of application of this European Standard is from approximately 1 g/m3(i.e. the limit of detection of the standard measurement method expressed as it

42、s uncertainty) up to 150 g/m3for PM10and 120 g/m3for PM2,5. NOTE 1 Although the European Standard is not validated for higher concentrations, its range of application could well be extended to ambient air concentrations up to circa 200 g/m3when using suitable filter materials (see 5.1.4). This Europ

43、ean Standard describes procedures and gives requirements for the use of so-called sequential samplers, equipped with a filter changer, suitable for extended stand-alone operation. Sequential samplers are commonly used throughout the European Union for the measurement of concentrations in ambient air

44、 of PM10or PM2,5. However, this European Standard does not exclude the use of single-filter samplers. This European Standard does not give procedures for the demonstration of equivalence of other sampler types, e.g. equipped with a different aerosol classifier and/or operating at different flow rate

45、s. Such procedures and requirements are given in detail in the Guide to the Demonstration of Equivalence of Ambient Air Monitoring Methods 11 and for automated continuous PM monitors (see CEN/TS 16450:2013). The present European Standard represents an evolution of earlier European Standards (EN 1234

46、1:1998 and EN 14907:2005) through the development of the 2,3 m3/h sampler to include constraints on the filter temperature during and after sampling and the ability to monitor temperatures at critical points in the sampling system. It is recommended that when equipment is procured it complies fully

47、with the present European Standard. However, older versions of these 2,3 m3/h samplers that do not employ sheath air cooling, the ability to cool filters after sampling, or the ability to monitor temperatures at critical points in the sampling system have a special status in terms of their use as re

48、ference samplers. Historical results obtained using these samplers will remain valid. These samplers can still be used for monitoring purposes and for equivalence trials, provided that a well justified additional allowance is made to their uncertainties (see Annex B). In addition, three specific sam

Historical results obtained using these samplers will remain valid. These samplers can still be used for monitoring purposes and for equivalence trials, provided that a well-justified additional allowance is made to their uncertainties (see Annex B). Other sampling systems, as described in Annex B of this Eu
