Ambient air quality - Standard method for the determination of mercury deposition
This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of the total deposition of mercury. This standard can be used within the framework of the European Council Directive on Ambient Air Quality Assessment and Management and Directive 2004/107/EC. Performance requirements with which the method should comply are specified in this European Standard. The performance characteristics of the method were determined in comparative field validation tests carried out at two European locations.
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.
This standard allows the sampling of deposition using cylindrical deposition gauges, and analysis using Cold Vapour Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (CVAAS) or Cold Vapour Atomic Fluorescence Spectrometry (CVAFS) following existing harmonised and standardised procedures. The standard is applicable for the measurement of mercury in deposition between 1 ng/(m2•d) and 100 ng/(m2•d).
The standard is validated for the deposition range listed in Table 1.
NOTE The range given is based upon the values measured in the field validation test. The upper and lower limits are the observed minimum and maximum values measured during the field validation tests. The actual lower limits of the working range depends on the variability of the laboratory blank, for bulk and wet-only collectors, and the precipitation. The method can be applied to higher and lower deposition rates provided that the collection characteristics are not compromised.

Diese Europäische Norm legt ein Verfahren für die Bestimmung der Gesamtdeposition von Queck¬silber fest. Die vorliegende Norm kann im Rahmen der Richtlinie des Europäischen Rates über die Beurteilung und die Kontrolle der Außenluftbeschaffenheit und der Richtlinie 2004/107/EG angewendet werden. In der vorliegenden Europäischen Norm sind die Leistungsanforderungen festgelegt, die dieses Verfahren erfüllen sollte. Die Verfahrenskenngrößen des Verfahrens wurden mit Vergleichsuntersuchungen zur Validierung von Feldversuchen bestimmt, die an zwei Standorten in Europa durchgeführt wurden.
Diese Europäische Norm ist anwendbar auf Hintergrundstationen, die den Anforderungen der Richtlinie 2004/107/EG entsprechen, und auf Stadtgebiete sowie Gebiete mit Industrieeinfluss.
Das Verfahren ermöglicht die Probenahme zur Bestimmung von Depositionen mit zylindrischen Auffanggefäßen und die Analyse mit der Kaltdampf Atomabsorptionsspektrometrie (CVAAS) oder Kaltdampf-Atomfluoreszenzspektro¬metrie (CVAFS) nach bestehenden, harmonisierten und standardisierten Verfahren. Das Verfahren ist anwendbar für die Messung von Quecksilberdepositionen zwischen 1 ng/(m2 d) und 100 ng/(m2 d).
Die Norm wurde für den in Tabelle 1 aufgeführten Depositionsbereich validiert.

SIST EN 15853:2010
outdoor air in the troposphere, excluding workplace air
3.1.2 atmospheric deposition mass flow rate (unit of mass per unit of area per unit of time) describing the process of the transfer of any species from the atmosphere to an environmental compartment, e.g. air to water, air to soil
NOTE
Atmospheric deposition is the sum of the depositions of sedimenting particles, non-sedimenting particles and gases. 3.1.3 bulk collector equipment to collect bulk deposition
NOTE
Bulk collectors sample deposition at all times. A bulk sampler can consist of a funnel-bottle combination or a wide mouthed jar. 3.1.4 bulk deposition sum of the deposition of sedimenting wet and dry particles
NOTE Bulk deposition is a part of the atmospheric deposition. 3.1.5
combined standard measurement uncertainty
standard measurement uncertainty that is obtained using the individual standard measurement uncertainties associated with the input quantities in a measurement model NOTE
In case of correlations of input quantities in a measurement model, covariances should also be taken into account when calculating the combined standard measurement uncertainty [ISO/IEC Guide 99 (VIM)]. 3.1.6 coverage factor
number larger than one by which a combined standard measurement uncertainty is multiplied to obtain an expanded measurement uncertainty NOTE
A coverage factor is usually symbolized k [ISO/IEC Guide 99 (VIM)]. 3.1.7 detection limit (DL), instrumental lowest amount of an analyte that is detectable using an instrument as determined by repeated measurements of a reagent blank 3.1.8 detection limit (DL), method lowest amount of an analyte detectable after the whole measurement process as determined by repeated measurements of different field blanks 3.1.9 dry deposition sum of the deposition of sedimenting dry particles, non sedimenting particles and gases
NOTE
Dry deposition includes the following processes: atmospheric turbulent diffusion, adsorption, absorption, impaction and gravitational settling. The dry deposition process is affected by the type of underlying surface and surface conditions. Dry deposition is a part of the atmospheric deposition. SIST EN 15853:2010
expanded uncertainty
product of a combined standard measurement uncertainty and a factor larger than the number one
NOTE 1
The factor depends upon the type of probability distribution of the output quantity in a measurement model and on the 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 (VIM)].
NOTE 4 For the purpose of this document the expanded uncertainty is the combined standard uncertainty multiplied by a coverage factor k = 2 resulting in an interval with a level of confidence of 95 %.
3.1.11 field blank artificial sample (e.g. de-ionised water) taken through the same procedure as the precipitation sample, except that this has not been exposed to precipitation NOTE
It is transported to the sampling site, mounted in the sampling unit, returned to the laboratory and worked up in the same way as the deposition sample. 3.1.12 laboratory blank artificial sample (e.g. de-ionised water) taken through the same procedure in the laboratory as the precipitation sample, worked up in the same way as the deposition sample 3.1.13 measurement uncertainty non-negative parameter characterizing the dispersion of the quantity values being attributed to a measurand, based on the information used
NOTE 1 Measurement uncertainty includes components arising from systematic effects, such as components associated with corrections and the assigned quantity values of measurement standards, as well as the definitional uncertainty. Sometimes estimated systematic effects are not corrected for but, instead, associated measurement uncertainty components are incorporated. NOTE 2 The parameter may be, for example, a standard deviation called standard measurement uncertainty (or a specified multiple of it), or the half-width of an interval, having a stated coverage probability. [ISO/IEC Guide 99:2007 (VIM)]
3.1.14 precipitation rain, snow, sleet, snow pellets ("graupel") and hail 3.1.15 reagent blank artificial sample (e.g. de-ionised water) processed through the analytical measurement steps 3.1.16 wet deposition sum of depositions of sedimenting wet particles and droplets
NOTE Wet particles and droplets in the atmosphere undergo the process of scavenging of any gases and/or particles. Wet deposition is a part of the atmospheric deposition.
