22、 dealing with the determination of bioaerosols in ambient air: Part 1: Determination of moulds using filter sampling systems and culture-based analyses; Part 2: Planning and evaluation of plant-related plume measurements. The basic requirements of the determination of bioaerosols are first published
23、 as Technical Specifications. The precision and the performance characteristics of bioaerosol measurements should be determined in comparison and validation trials in order to validate the method(s). Based on the validation results the Technical Specifications can be transferred to European Standard
24、s. For this purpose it is intended to apply for mandated support by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association using the Technical Specifications as a basis for validation measurements.

PD CEN/TS 16115-2:2016 CEN/TS 16115-2:2016 (E) 5 Introduction Airborne particles of biological origin are called bioaerosols. Natural and anthropogenic sources for bioaerosols
27、 are widely distributed in the environment. Anthropogenic sources can for example be agriculture or waste treatment activities. The purpose the measurement planning here described is to determine the mean plant- and/or source- related impact range of microbial air pollutants. As it has so far not be
28、en possible to set limit values based on dose-response relationships, the mean impact range is to be used as a criterion for assessing the environmental impact of a plant. The scale of work for the plume measurements here described is necessary to obtain statistically representative data about the i
29、mpact range of the plant and/or source, taking into account the great variety of influencing factors. Whilst a reduced measurement effort is possible in principle, this will lead to an increased measurement uncertainty. The objective of measurement planning is to analyse a given measurement problem
30、and derive the associated requirements for organization, the measurement method, the sampling strategy, the evaluation of the measured data, quality assurance and reporting. The requirements set out in this technical specification are to ensure that plant-related ambient air measurements of microbia
31、l air pollution are planned in such a way as to enable a given task to be processed with sufficient accuracy and at justifiable cost. The aim is to ensure that the measured data obtained meet the applicable standards for representativeness and hence, enable maximum possible comparability. The proced
32、ure described in this document is based on VDI 4251 Part 1 1. PD CEN/TS 16115-2:2016 CEN/TS 16115-2:2016 (E) 6 1 Scope This document describes the general requirements to be taken into account in planning and implementing plant-related plume measurements of microbial air pollutants. A basic principl
33、e of this method is to compare the concentrations in air unaffected by the activities of the plant (i.e. background air sampled upwind of the plant) with the concentration of bioaerosols in air downwind of the plant. It is this comparison that allows an assessment of the plant-related contribution a
34、nd the mean spatial impact range to be made. As it has so far not been possible to set limit values based on dose-response relationships, the mean impact range is to be used as a first criterion for assessing the environmental impact of a plant. The scale of work for the plume measurements described
35、 is necessary to obtain statistically representative data about the impact range of the plant and/or source, taking into account the great variety of influencing factors. Plant-related measurements of bioaerosol concentrations in ambient air may be required in a number of regulatory situations. Exam
36、ples of typical measurement objectives and indicative application scenarios are presented in the document. This method specifies the simultaneous measurement of background and downwind air quality to reduce the risk of invalid comparisons resulting from changing background air concentrations. Anothe
37、r important principle of this method is the requirement for repeated measures to take into account day to day and seasonal variations in the processes governing bioaerosol emissions and dispersion. The objective is to analyse a given measurement problem and derive the associated requirements for org
38、anization, the measurement method, the sampling strategy, the evaluation of the measured data, quality assurance and reporting. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
