DIN EN 15852:2010-11 EN 15852:2010 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a standard method for determining total gaseous mercury (TGM) in ambient air using cold va
28、pour atomic absorption spectrometry (CVAAS), or cold vapour atomic fluorescence spectrometry (CVAFS). This European Standard is applicable to background sites that are in accordance with the requirements of Directive 2004/107/EC and to urban and industrial sites. The performance characteristics of t
29、he method have been determined in comparative field validation tests carried out at four European locations: two background and two industrial sites. The method was tested for two months at each site over a period of twelve months using automated equipment currently used in Europe for determination
30、of TGM in ambient air. The working range of the method covers the range of ambient air concentrations from those found at background sites, typically less than 2 ng/m3, up to those found at industrial sites where higher concentrations are expected. A maximum daily average up to 300 ng/m3was measured
31、 during the field trials. Results are reported as the average mass of TGM per volume of air at 293,15 K and 101,325 kPa, measured over a specified time period, in nanograms per cubic metre.2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this documen

In some cases, it may consist of an additive or multiplicative correction of the indica
37、tion with associated measurement uncertainty. NOTE 2 Calibration should not be confused with adjustment of a measuring system, often mistakenly called “self-calibration“, nor with verification of calibration.

42、 selected coverage probability. NOTE 2 The term “factor“ in this definition refers to a coverage factor. NOTE 3 Expanded measurement uncertainty is termed “overall uncertainty“ in paragraph 5 of Recommendation INC-1 (1980) (see the GUM) and simply “uncertainty“ in IEC documents ISO/IEC Guide 99:2007
43、 (VIM).
