This had to be implied in national law in any member state of the EC by da

30、te. Pollen dispersal plays a significant role in the dissemination of genetically modified organisms (GMO). A procedure is described for GMO monitoring that enables quantification and documentation of GMO input and spread through pollen in a nationwide monitoring network which represents natural lan

31、dscapes. Technical and biological pollen sampling (the present Technical Specification and CEN/TS 16817-2) and molecular biological analysis methods (polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for DNA; Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for proteins) are used for the detection of GMO input. It is reason

32、able to use both technical and biological sampling of pollen, thus they supplement each other in manifold ways. The technical sampling (i.e. the present document) is conducted with stationary point-samplers. They give a record of pollen input at the sample site that correlates with the prevailing wi

33、nd direction and relative position to the surrounding pollen sources. Bee colonies actively roam an area and are therefore area related samplers. Further, pollen sampling depends here on the collection activity of the bees and the availability of pollen sources within the roaming area according to t

34、he bees preferences and supply of melliferous plants 32. Presently known pollen traps are only partially suited for GMO monitoring, since they can neither be standardized nor is the instrumentation designed for exposure times that are suitable for this purpose. Another limitation of commonly used po

35、llen samplers is the requirement for a power supply, e.g. as for the Hirst type trap. The use of these instruments is therefore restricted to a limited exposure area. For these reasons, a new type of passive pollen sampler, the pollen mass filter (PMF), was developed. The PMF is used either in combi

36、nation with the Sigma-2 passive sampler or solely. The present Technical Specification is largely based on German VDI/Guideline 4330 Part 3 31. PD CEN/TS 16817-1:2015CEN/TS 16817-1:2015 (E) 7 1 Scope This Technical Specification describes a procedure for the use of the passive samplers Sigma-2 and P

37、MF to sample airborne pollen. Both are designed to sample coarse aerosol particles. Collected samples are used to analyse pollen input with regard to pollen type and amount, and input of transgenic pollen. The Sigma-2 passive sampler here provides a standardized sampling method for direct microscopi

38、c pollen analysis and quantifying the input of airborne pollen at the site. The PMF yields sufficient amounts of pollen to additionally carry out molecular-biological diagnostics for detection of GMO. Essential background information on performing GMO monitoring is given in VDI/Guideline 4330 Part 1

39、 4, which is based on an integrated assessment of temporal and spatial variation of GMO cultivation (sources of GMO), the exposure in the environment and biological/ecological effects. Ideally, the pollen sampling using technical samplers for GMO monitoring should be undertaken in combination with t

40、he biological collection of pollen by bees (CEN/TS 16817-2). The application of technical passive samplers and the use of honey bee colonies as active biological collectors complement each other in a manifold way when monitoring the exposure to GMO pollen. Technical samplers provide results regardin

41、g the pollen input at the sampling site in a representative way, whereas with biological sampling by honey bee colonies, pollen from flowering plants in the area is collected according to the bees collection activity. Thus, this method represents GMO exposure to roaming insects. By combining the two

42、 sampling methods these two main principles of exposure are represented. Furthermore, a broad range of pollen species is covered. The sample design depends on the intended sampling objective.
