Workplace atmospheres - Calculation of the health-related aerosol fraction concentration from the concentration measured by a sampler with known performance characteristics

This Technical Report specifies a method for calculating and expressing the relevant aerosol fraction concentration and its confidence interval, rather than the actually measured concentration. This can be done for any sampler satisfying EN 13205:2001, Annex A.
The calculation method follows the procedure developed and described in EN 13205:2001, Annex A and Annex F. This Technical Report explains how to practically perform the calculation.

Arbeitsplatzatmosphäre - Berechnung der gesundheitsbezogenen Fraktion der Aerosolkonzentration anhand der mit einem Probenahmegerät mit bekannten Leistungseigenschaften gemessenen Konzentration

Atmosphères des lieux de travail - Calcul de la concentration en fractions d'aérosols liées à la santé à partir de la concentration mesurée à l'aide d'un dispositif de prélèvement ayant des caractéristiques de performances connues

Le présent rapport technique spécifie une méthode permettant de calculer et d’exprimer la concentration en fractions d’aérosols et son intervalle de confiance correspondant, plutôt que la concentration réellement mesurée. Cela concerne tout échantillonneur conforme à l’EN 13205:2001, Annexe A.
La méthode de calcul suit le mode opératoire élaboré et décrit dans l’EN 13205:2001, Annexe A et Annexe F. Le présent rapport technique explique comment effectuer les calculs dans la pratique.

Introduction
Exposure assessment of workers to particulate matter dispersed into the air at the workplace is generally
achieved through aerosol sampling by using instruments designed for measuring health-related aerosol
fractions as defined in EN 481. EN 1
