20、BS EN 16161:2012EN 16161:2012 (E) 4 Introduction Surveys of chlorophyll and nutrient concentration are fundamental descriptors of primary productivity and eutrophic threat in coastal and inland waters. Chlorophyll-a concentration can be determined by sampling and laboratory analysis using the techni

21、ques described in ISO 10260. Achieving consistent results with this technique requires careful attention during the various steps of the process commonly used, such as during sampling, transport, filtering, freezing, storage and extraction and subsequent pigment estimation. The in vivo technique des

22、cribed here can be applied to surveys where a rapid non-destructive and repeatable measurement capability is required. It can be used either in the field or laboratory. No chemicals are required. Utilised in association with other methods of chlorophyll-a determination such as ISO 10260, HPLC pigmen

23、t analysis and chlorophyll fluorescence measurements techniques, it can help identify sources of inconsistency or be used as an alternative technique in its own right. As chlorophyll-a estimates can be achieved in times as short as one minute, the technique can enhance surveying capability considera

24、bly. This standard describes procedures to implement and verify performance. BS EN 16161:2012EN 16161:2012 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard provides guidance in the use of in vivo absorption techniques to quantify chlorophyll-a concentration in marine and fresh waters.

33、 photometric absorption technique (IVP) is based on: a) the additive nature of absorption of individual constituents within a suspension; b) the use of a priori knowledge about the absorption features of chlorophyll-a in the wavelength area of approximately 675 nm; c) the absence of other components

34、 interfering with spectral features of chlorophyll-a in this region; d) the use of a measurement cell (a cuvette or other sample receptacle) of sufficient length and spectrophotometer of sufficient performance to enable the absorption feature of chlorophyll-a to be identified at the concentration le

35、vels required; e) the availability of a suitable algorithm to identify and quantify the distinctive chlorophyll-a absorption feature within a spectral absorption measurement. 5 Apparatus 5.1 Spectrophotometer, or equivalent, with the capability to determine the absorption spectrum of an in situ samp

36、le of water. The spectral measuring instrument shall be capable of measuring the absorption of the sample in a range between 600 nm and 750 nm with a resolution better than 10 nm. The data capture is carried out in measuring intervals of 5 nm or smaller. BS EN 16161:2012EN 16161:2012 (E) 7 NOTE For

37、example, a spectrophotometer with 2 nm resolution requires the ability to sense changes in absorption around 675 nm of 0,020 3 m-1in order to sense 1 g/l of chlorophyll-a. 5.2 Datum, consisting of the unit response spectrum for chlorophyll-a absorption ()sa in the region around 675 nm for the spectr

38、ophotometer in use. See Annex B for suggested methods of determining this. 5.3 Mathematical routine, capable of determining the quantity C of unit chlorophyll-a spectra present in the sample spectrum. 6 Procedure 6.1 Calibration The reference spectrum should be recorded with a sample of water which

39、is free of constituents with absorption effects likely to mimic or interfere with chlorophyll-a absorption spectral features in the 650 nm to 710 nm region. This measurement should be stored as a system reference spectral signal of the water Iw(). The temperature of the reference water sample should

40、 not differ more than around 10 C from that of the samples to avoid affecting chlorophyll estimation results at the 1 g/l level. If the same measurement cell is used for successive samples, the measuring chamber should be flushed to remove influences of previous measurements before the next measurem

41、ent (see 6.3). This is particularly necessary in cases where a flow-through measurement cell is utilised. Persistent positive residual chlorophyll-a measurements on clean water samples indicate window fouling by chlorophyllous material. Either the measurement cell should be cleaned or the effects of

42、 the persistent fouling should be zeroed out by taking a new clean water reference spectrum. Water free of chlorophyll-a can be generated by filtering drinking water through a pore size of 0,1 m. For the measurement of samples with high content of dissolved salts or colour (especially high content o

43、f humic substances), a representative water sample can be filtered for use as reference. When a measurement cell is emptied there is often a residue. In practice, the number of flushes recommended should be sufficient to bring verification of zero measurements to within two standard deviations of ze

44、ro. If a significant positive residue persists, this might indicate window fouling and either a new reference clean water sample should be taken or the measurement cell should be cleaned. EXAMPLE A sample of clean water free of chlorophyll inserted after a measurement of a sample with 100 g/l of chl

45、orophyll-a may record a residual chlorophyll-a concentration of 2 g/l, or a 2 % residual. Two flushes should reduce this to 2 % of 2 % or 0,04 % and three flushes to 0,008 %. The effect of temperature difference on the system algorithm can be checked by repeating measurements on one sample using dif

46、ferent reference water or sample water temperatures. Such effects arise because of small changes in the absorption of pure water with temperature. These changes are well described in the literature 15 and can influence the curvature of an absorption spectrum near 675 nm. The influence of the tempera

47、ture and the salinity differences between the spectrum of the sample and reference spectrum shall be considered if concentrations around or below 1 g/l need to be determined accurately. These changes are well described in the literature 15 and can influence the shape of an absorption spectrum near 6

48、75 nm. 6.2 Blank Measurement For any instrument system, the standard deviation of the determination of C in a series of measurements on a clean water sample should be determined by statistical methods. This will indicate the contribution of instrument and algorithm fitting noise to the determination

49、 of minimum detectable chlorophyll concentration. For each new reference water, a second measurement of that water used as a sample to determine estimated chlorophyll C should be made. This estimate should not exceed two standard deviations of zero for the BS EN 16161:2012EN 16161:2012 (E) 8 instrument. If this is not the case, flushing, calibration (6.1) and blank measurement (6.2) should be repeated until this condition is
