PD CEN/TS 16868:2015CEN/TS 16868:2015 (E) 4 Introduction Biological particles (pollen and fungal spores) are present in the air, causing health i

19、mpacts at various levels. In Europe, nearly 18 % to 20 % of people suffer from pollinosis due to pollen and/or fungal spores. Pollen grains and fungal spores are considered in some Member States as an air pollutant as well as particles suspended in the air (PM10,2,5). In Europe, European Aerobiology

20、 Society (EAS) in coordination with International Association for Aerobiology (IAA) manage problems of sampling, analysis, quality control, development and information. For the sampling and analysis of biological particles different methodology and operating procedures are used. Sampling equipment i

21、s diversified (see Annex A). Analysis is based on optical light microscopy for identification and counting pollen grains and fungal spores. Elements and reagents used during sampling and analysis have very specific properties and require to be handled carefully. Given the close relationship between

22、aerobiology and other sciences, one of the main aims is that information on airborne biological-particle counts should be of use in a wide range of disciplines and fields of application, including aerobiology, biodiversity, agriculture, forestry, phytopathology, meteorology, climatology, forensic sc

23、ience, bioterrorism, and health (sensitization and allergy). PD CEN/TS 16868:2015CEN/TS 16868:2015 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the procedure to sample continuously and analyse the concentration of airborne pollen grains and fungal spores in ambient air using the volumetric Hirst t

39、a partial vacuum can be produced 3.33 wind vane mechanical device attached to an elevated structure; rotates freely depending on the direction of the wind 4 Principle Ambient air is sampled by a volumetric suction system and directed towards a suitably coated sampling surface through a specific orif

40、ice oriented towards the wind; the particles contained in the sampled air are deposited by impaction on a continuously moving adhesive acceptor surface. The sampling surface is then examined with an optical microscope in order to identify and count the allergy relevant particles per area (deposition

41、 rates). Using this method allows to count particles and subsequently calculate concentrations as a daily mean or a 2-hour mean. The low-volume sampler (10 l/min) allows a continuous sampling for up to seven days 4 5 6. 5 Sampling 5.1 Equipment 5.1.1 Apparatus 5.1.1.1 Motorised suction pump The moto

42、rised suction pump shall work 24 hours a day and continuously throughout the year always at the same flow rate. The power supply may be either mains or battery driven (solar panels). The electric motor shall be capable of continuous operation. The suction system, for instance, a vacuum pump, shall h

43、ave a regular and continuous flow rate. The flow rate of suction may be adjusted by a flow control valve. The flow rate shall be 10 l/min (1 l/min). The flow rate shall be checked at every change of the impaction support with an adapted flow meter (i.e. the flow meter supplied by the same supplier o

44、f the sampler). The flow meter shall be checked annually or less depending on the historical experience. Sampling shall always be continuous and stable. The support shall scroll regularly in front of the back outlet of the orifice; its geometry and the scrolling speed depend on the duration of sampl

45、ing period requested. Example for the sampling area: a support of 48 mm (tape) with a speed of 2 mm/h: sampling period = one day; a flexible support of 336 mm with a speed of 2 mm/h: sampling period = seven days. The scrolling speed may be adjusted to other sampling period durations. The trap can wo

46、rk with two different impaction supports: a drum (see Figure 1a) covered with a coated transparent tape or a glass slide (see Figure 1b) coated.

48、owing dimensions (with associated tolerances): rectangular opening: 14 mm (0,1 mm) 2 mm (0,1 mm) depth of the orifice: 19 mm distance from the inside orifice to the drum without the tape: 0,70 mm (0,1 m) The depth allows the non-turbulence of laminar flow and directs the mixture of air and particles

49、 towards the coated support. In consequence, an efficient particle impaction for pollen grains and fungal spores, induced by the laminar flow, is ensured. The outlet of the orifice shall be 0,70 mm (0,1 mm) of the coated support (see Figure 2 distance A-B). The distance allows efficient particle impaction for pollen grains and fungal spores. It shall be controlled with a ruler 7 8 9. The orifice should be directed into the air-stream using a wind vane. PD CEN/TS 16868:2015CEN/TS 16868:2015
