Ambient air - Sampling and analysis of airborne pollen grains and fungal spores for allergy networks - Volumetric Hirst method

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 type sampler [1] [2] [3] (see Annex A).
This European Standard describes both the sampling and the analysis procedures for the purpose of allergy networks. For the other tasks mentioned in the introduction, other specifications may be required.

Außenluft - Probenahme und Analyse luftgetragener Pollen und Pilzsporen für Allergienetzwerke - Volumetrische Hirst-Methode

Air ambiant - Échantillonnage et analyse des grains de pollen et des spores fongiques aériens pour les réseaux aérobiologiques - Méthode volumétrique de Hirst

La présente Norme européenne spécifie le mode opératoire pour l’échantillonnage en continu et l’analyse de la concentration en grains de pollen et spores fongiques aériens dans l’air ambiant en utilisant l’échantillonneur volumétrique de Hirst [1] [2] [3] (voir l’Annexe A).
Elle décrit les modes opératoires d’échantillonnage et d’analyse applicables aux stations à vocation allergologique. Pour les autres objectifs mentionnés dans l’introduction, des spécifications différentes peuvent être requises.

Zunanji zrak - Vzorčenje in analiza cvetnega prahu in trosov gliv v zraku za alergijsko omrežje - Volumetrična Hirstova metoda

Ta evropski standard določa postopek za stalno vzorčenje in analiziranje koncentracije pelodnih zrn in trosov gliv v zunanjem zraku z volumetričnim vzorčevalnikom vrste Hirst [1] [2] [3] (glejte dodatek A).
Ta evropski standard opisuje postopke vzorčenja in tudi analize za namen alergijskih omrežij. Za druge naloge, omenjene v uvodu, se lahko zahteva druge specifikacije.

This Technical Specification (CEN/TS) was approved by CEN on 15 September 2015 for provisional application.

The period of validity of this CEN/TS is limited initially to three years. After two years the members of CEN will be requested to
submit their comments, particularly on the question whether the CEN/TS can be converted into a European Standard.

CEN members are required to announce the existence of this CEN/TS in the same way as for an EN and to make the CEN/TS
available promptly at national level in an appropriate form. It is permissible to keep conflicting national standards in force (in
parallel to the CEN/TS) until the final decision about the possible conversion of the CEN/TS into an EN is reached.

CEN members are the national standards bodies of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia,
Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania,
Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and
