15、4 EN 14902:2005 (E) 3 Foreword This European Standard (EN 14902:2005) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 264 “Air quality”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by

16、endorsement, at the latest by February 2006, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by February 2006. This European Standard has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association (see Annex ZA). According to the

17、 CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembo

EN 14902:2005 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of particulate lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), arsenic (As) and nickel (Ni) in ambient air that c

19、an be used in the framework of the European Council Directive on Ambient Air Quality Assessment and Management 1 and the 1st2 and 4th3 Daughter Directives. Performance requirements with which the method has to comply are specified in this European Standard. The performance characteristics of the met

20、hod were determined in comparative field validation tests carried out at four European locations (see 4). This European Standard specifies a method for sampling of Pb, Cd, As and Ni as part of the PM10 aerosol, microwave digestion of the samples and analysis by graphite furnace atomic absorption spe

21、ctrometry or by inductively coupled plasma (quadrupole) mass spectrometry. This European Standard is applicable for the measurement of Pb, Cd, As and Ni as part of the PM10 aerosol fraction in the concentration ranges listed in Table 1. Table 1 Working ranges of the method in ng/m From To Pb 1 4 000

22、 Cd 0,1 50 As 0,5 350 Ni 2 100 The actual lower limits of the working ranges depend upon the variability of the laboratory filter blank (5.3.1). The lower limits of the working ranges given in Table 1 are expected values based upon performance achieved in the field validation tests. Similarly the up

23、per limits of the working ranges have been set arbitrarily based upon the maximum daily values measured during the field validation tests. The method can be applied to higher concentrations provided the PM10 collection characteristics of the sampler are not compromised. EN 14902:2005 (E) 5 2 Normati
