Ambient air quality - Standard method for determination of arsenic, cadmium, lead and nickel in atmospheric deposition
This European Standard specifies three methods for the determination of deposition of arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd) nickel (Ni) and lead (Pb), that can be used in the framework of the European Council Directive on Ambient Air Quality Assessment and Management [1] and the 4th Air Quality Daughter Directive [2]. This European Standard specifies performance requirements with which the method has to comply in order to meet the data quality objectives given in the Directives. The performance characteristics of the method were determined in comparative field validation tests carried out at four European locations [3].
This European Standard specifies methods for sampling wet-only and bulk deposition of As, Cd, Ni and Pb, sample treatment and analysis by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GF-AAS) or by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS).
The method is applicable for deposition measurements in
a) rural and remote areas;
b) industrial areas;
c) urban areas.
The standard is validated for the working ranges listed in Table 1.
Table 1 - Validated working ranges for the methods
Lower limit (µg/m² day) Upper limit (µg/m² day)
As 0,05 2
Cd 0,01 1
Ni 0,05 25
Pb 0,1 65
NOTE The ranges given are 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 ranges depend on the variability of the laboratory blank and the precipitation amount range in bulk and wet-only.
Luftbeschaffenheit - Messverfahren zur Bestimmung von Arsen, Cadmium, Blei und Nickel in atmosphärischer Deposition
Diese Europäische Norm legt ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung der Deposition von Arsen (As), Cadmium (Cd), Nickel (Ni) und Blei (Pb) fest, das im Rahmen der Europäischen Richtlinie 96/62/EG des Rates über die Beurteilung und die Kontrolle der Luftqualität [1] sowie der 1. [2] und der 4. [3] Tochterrichtlinie eingesetzt werden kann. Diese Europäische Norm legt Leistungsanforderungen fest, denen das Verfahren entsprechen muss, um die in den Richtlinien angegebenen Ziele in Bezug auf die Qualität der Daten zu erreichen. Die Kenngrößen des Verfahrens wurden in vergleichenden Feld-Validierungsversuchen bestimmt, die an vier Orten in Europa durchgeführt wurden [4].
Die vorliegende Europäische Norm legt Verfahren zur Probenahme der atmosphärischen Deposition von As, Cd, Ni und Pb, zur Probenbehandlung und zur Probenanalyse mit Hilfe der Graphitofen-Atomabsorptions¬spektrometrie (GF-AAS) oder der Massenspektrometrie mit induktiv gekoppeltem Plasma (ICP MS) fest.
Das Verfahren ist anwendbar auf Depositionsmessungen in
ländlichen und entlegenen Gebieten;
industriellen Gebieten;
städtischen Gebieten.
Die Norm wurde für den in Tabelle 1 aufgeführten Depositionsbereich validiert.
Qualité de l'air ambiant - Méthode normalisée pour la détermination des dépôts d'arsenic, de cadmium, de nickel et de plomb
La présente Norme européenne spécifie trois méthodes de détermination des dépôts d'arsenic (As), de cadmium (Cd), de nickel (Ni) et de plomb (Pb) qui peuvent être utilisées dans le cadre de la Directive du Conseil Européen sur l'évaluation et la gestion de la qualité de l'air ambiant [1] et la 4ème directive fille [2]. La présente Norme européenne spécifie les exigences de performance que doivent respecter ces méthodes pour satisfaire aux objectifs de qualité des données indiqués dans les directives. Les caractéristiques de performance des méthodes ont été déterminées lors d'essais de validation comparative sur le terrain réalisés en quatre lieux d'Europe [3].
La présente Norme européenne spécifie des méthodes d'échantillonnage de dépôts humides et de dépôts totaux de As, Cd, Ni et Pb, des traitements et des analyses d'échantillons par spectrométrie d'absorption atomique à four graphite (GF-AAS) ou par spectrométrie de masse à plasma induit (ICP-MS).
Les méthodes s'appliquent à des mesures de dépôts dans
a) des zones rurales et éloignées des sources ;
b) des zones industrielles ;
c) des zones urbaines.
La norme est validée pour les plages de fonctionnement indiquées au Tableau 1.
Tableau 1 - Plages de fonctionnement validées pour les méthodes
Limite inférieure (µg/m2 jour) Limite supérieure (µg/m2 jour)
As 0,05 2

NOTE Les plages indiquées sont basées sur les valeurs mesurées au cours des essais de validation sur le terrain. Les limites supérieures et inférieures observées sont les valeurs minimales et maximales mesurées pendant les essais de validation sur le terrain. Les limites inférieures réelles des plages de fonctionnement dépendent de la variabilité du blanc de laboratoire et des quantités de pluie dans les dépôts totaux et les dépôts humides.
Kakovost zunanjega zraka - Standardna metoda za določevanje arzena, kadmija, svinca in niklja v atmosferskih usedlinah
Ta evropski standard določa tri metode za določevanje usedlin arzena (As), kadmija (Cd), niklja (Ni) in svinca (Pb), ki se lahko uporablja v okviru Direktive Evropskega sveta o ocenjevanju in upravljanju kakovosti zunanjega zraka ter 4. hčerinske direktive o kakovosti zraka. Ta evropski standard določa zahteve za zmogljivost, ki jim mora metoda ustrezati, da dosega cilje kakovosti podatkov, podane v direktivah. Značilnosti zmogljivosti metode so določili s primerjalnimi validacijskimi preskusi na terenu, opravljenimi na štirih evropskih lokacijah. Ta evropski standard določa metode za vzorčenje samo mokrih in skupnih usedlin As, Cd, Ni in Pb, obdelavo in analizo vzorcev z atomsko absorpcijsko spektrometrijo z grafitno kiveto (GF-AAS) ali z masno spektrometrijo z induktivno sklopljeno plazmo(ICP-MS). Metoda velja za meritve usedlin a) na podeželju in oddaljenih območjih, b) v industrijskih območjih, c) v mestnih okoljih. Standard je potrjen za delovne razpone, navedene v Tabeli 1.

The determination of the dry deposition requires micrometeorological measurements taking into account the turbulent atmospheric transport processes. Wet deposition and bulk deposition, however, can be estimated using suitable collectors. This standard describes methods to determine wet deposition and bulk deposition using wet-only and bulk collectors. The wet-only collector is designed to collect only sedimenting wet particles, while the bulk collector is designed to collect all sedimenting wet and dry particles. However, since the deposition process is affected by various factors, e.g. wind speed, temperature, vegetation and surface type, the wet-only collector will not catch all sedimenting wet particles while some sedimenting dry particles, non-sedimenting particles and gases SIST EN 15841:2010
