Indoor air - Part 13: Determination of total (gas and particle-phase) polychlorinated dioxin-like biphenyls (PCBs) and polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins/dibenzofurans (PCDDs/PCDFs) - Collection on sorbent-backed filters
This part of ISO 16000 specifies sampling and preparation of sampling media for dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) in indoor air (see Table C.1). The method incorporates a sampling procedure that collects PCBs and PCDFs/PCDDs from air on a fine-particle filter backed up by a sorbent trap. The method cannot be used to separately determine gaseous PCBs and PCDFs/PCDDs and those that are particle-associated because some of the compounds will volatilize from the filter and be collected by the sorbent trap. This part of ISO 16000 does not address analytical methods for PCBs PCDDs and PCDFs, which are included in ISO 16000-14. (ISO 16000-13 and ISO 16000-14 are both parts of the overall measurement procedure for the determination of PCBs and PCDDs/PCDFs.) Combined with the analytical procedures specified in ISO 16000-14, which incorporate specific analyses by high-resolution gas chromatography combined with high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRGC/HRMS), this method is capable of detecting 0,2 pg/m3 or lower concentrations of most PCBs and PCDFs/PCDDs. However, it may not be possible to detect all analytes at 0,2 pg/m3 or lower, especially at lower sampling rates. To achieve adequate detection limits, no less than 50 m3 of air should be sampled. For normal measurement tasks, sampling volumes up to 360 m3 are employed (equivalent to a sampling period of 24 h at 16 m3/h or 7 d at 2 m3/h). The method has been validated for sampling periods up to seven days. With the use of larger sorbent traps, sampling volumes up to 1 000 m3 have been validated. Sampling precision under normal conditions can be expected to be 25 % or better and uncertainty 50 % or better. If the appropriate restrictions are applied, this method can be used for small rooms, for example children's rooms as well as for offices.

Z uporabo večjih absorbentnih pasti so bile validirane količine vzorcev do 1000 m3. Pod normalnimi pogoji se pričakuje, da bo natančnost vzorčenja 25 % ali več, negotovost pa 50 % ali boljša. Pri uporabi pravih omejitev se ta metoda lahko uporablja za majhne prostore, na primer otroške sobe in pisarne.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.

Introduction
The different parts of ISO 16000 describe general requirements relating to the measurement of indoor air
pollutants and the important conditions to be observed before or during the sampling of individual pollutants or
groups of pollutants as well as the measurement procedures themselves (see Foreword).
This part of ISO 16000 is applicable to the collection from indoor air of dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls
(PCBs), polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) and to the
preparation of sampling media required for sampling. The same sampling methods described here are also
applicable to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) made up of two or more fused aromatic rings.
Procedures for preparation and extraction of sampling media for PAHs and for the analytical determination of
PAHs are given in ISO 12884, and therefore are not included here.
The sampling strategy to analyse PCBs, PCDDs/PCDFs and PAHs in indoor air is described in ISO 16000-12.
Several PCBs and PCDDs/PCDFs are considered to be potential human carcinogens. There are 209 individual
PCBs (congeners), 75 PCDDs and 135 PCDFs. The most toxic PCBs are those that are coplanar and
structurally similar to PCDDs. The most toxic PCDD is 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzodibenzo-p-dioxin
(2,3,7,8-TCDD).
PCBs are emitted into the indoor air primarily from concrete sealers, certain paints, or electrical capacitors, all
of which have been banned in recent years. The principal sources of PCDDs/PCDFs in indoor air are
impurities in wood preservatives containing pentachlorophenol (PCP) and emissions from fires involving
chlorinated products. Tracked-in soil and emissions from nearby landfills and abandoned industrial sites may
also contribute PCBs and PCDDs/PCDFs to the indoor environment.
Total PCB concentrations (six marker PCBs: PCB-28, -52, -101, -138, -153, and -180 multiplied by 5) in urban
3
outdoor air typically range from 10 to several hundred picograms per cubic metre (pg/m ). PCDDs/PCDFs are
3
usually found in urban outdoor air at extremely low concentrations; e.g. femtograms per cubic metre (fg/m ) to
3
picograms per cubic metre (pg/m ). PCBs and PCDDs/PCDFs may be distributed between the gas and
particle-associated phases in ambient or indoor air, depending on the temperature, humidity, degree of
chlorination, their concentration, and their capacity to associate with suspended particulate matter. These
−8
compounds, especially those having vapour pressures above 10 kPa, will tend to vaporize from particle
filters during sampling. Consequently, a back-up sorbent trap is included for efficient sampling. Separate
analyses of the filter and sorbent trap will not reflect the original atmospheric phase distributions at normal
ambient temperatures because of volatilization of compounds from the filter and should not be attempted.
Shipping of PCDD/PCDF standards has to comply with the national legal regulations. They have to be
transported in special containers, which are commercially available. Handling should only be done by trained
operators.
This part of ISO 16000 describes sampling of polychlorinated dioxin-like biphenyls (PCBs) and polychlorinated
dibenzo-p-dioxins/dibenzofurans (PCDDs/PCDFs). Extraction, clean-up and analysis are described in
ISO 16000-14.

Determination of total (gas and particle-phase) polychlorinated

dibenzo-p-dioxins/dibenzofurans (PCDDs/PCDFs) — Collection

1 Scope
This part of ISO 16000 specifies sampling and preparation of sampling media for dioxin-like polychlorinated
biphenyls (PCBs), polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) in
indoor air (see Table C.1). The method incorporates a sampling procedure that collects PCBs and
PCDFs/PCDDs from air on a fine-particle filter backed up by a sorbent trap. The method cannot be used to
separately determine gaseous PCBs and PCDFs/PCDDs and those that are particle-associated because
some of the compounds will volatilize from the filter and be collected by the sorbent trap. This part of
ISO 16000 does not address analytical methods for PCBs PCDDs and PCDFs, which are included in
ISO 16000-14. (ISO 16000-13 and ISO 16000-14 are both parts of the overall measurement procedure for the
determination of PCBs and PCDDs/PCDFs.)
Combined with the analytical procedures specified in ISO 16000-14, which incorporate specific analyses by
high-resolution gas chromatography combined with high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRGC/HRMS), this
3
method is capable of detecting 0,2 pg/m or lower concentrations of most PCBs and PCDFs/PCDDs. However,
3
it may not be possible to detect all analytes at 0,2 pg/m or lower, especially at lower sampling rates. To
3
achieve adequate detection limits, no less than 50 m of air should be sampled. For normal measurement
3 3
tasks, sampling volumes up to 360 m are employed (equivalent to a sampling period of 24 h at 16 m /h or 7 d
3
at 2 m /h). The method has been validated for sampling periods up to seven days. With the use of larger
3
sorbent traps, sampling volumes up to 1 000 m have been validated.
Sampling precision under normal conditions can be expected to be ± 25 % or better and uncertainty ± 50 % or
better.
If the appropriate restrictions are applied, this method can be used for small rooms, for example children’s
rooms as well as for offices.

5 Principle
PCBs, PCDDs, and PCDFs are collected directly from indoor atmospheres by pulling a sample of air through
a fine particle filter backed up with a sorbent trap consisting of polyurethane foam (PUF). Low-volatility
compounds associated with airborne particulate matter are collected primarily on the particle filter. Gaseous
compounds that pass through the filter and compounds that vaporize from the filter are collected by the
polyurethane foam trap.
The method is applicable to rooms in residences, office buildings, and public or commercial facilities including
those with large interior spaces (e.g. factories, warehouses, enclosed stadiums). The sampling flow rate and
volume of air collected will depend on the size of the room or interior space being sampled. It may range from
3 3
1,5 m /h to 16 m /h according to the measurement task.
The sampling media (filter plus PUF) are combined and extracted together. Extraction procedures are
13
normally based on Soxhlet extraction with toluene or an equivalent solvent. C -labelled PCB/PCDD/PCDF
12
standards are added before sampling and extraction to monitor sampling efficiency and recovery. Spiking with
13
C -labelled PCBs/PCDDs/PCDFs before sampling is necessary to determine the overall recoveries of the
12
PCB/PCDD/PCDF congeners. Losses during extraction and clean-up are detected and compensated by using
these isotopically-labelled surrogates as internal extraction standards for quantification, together with recovery
standards that are added just before the HRGC/HRMS analysis.
6 Apparatus and materials
6.1 Sampling apparatus
A schematic of a typical sampling system is shown in Figure 1 and that of a typical sampling module is shown
in Figure 2.
The sampling module shown in Figure 2 is the basis of the outdoor sampler for polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons (PAHs) described in ISO 12884. It is based on a published design (Reference [6]) and is also
used for determination of PCDDs and PCDFs in ambient air (Reference [7]). A module of this design having
3
the same dimensions as those described in ISO 12884 may be used for sampling rates from 1,5 m /h to
3 3
16 m /h and total air volumes up to 360 m depending on the capacity of the air sampling system used.
Modules of this basic design having various dimensions and configurations may be used if validated.
NOTE The particle capture velocity of a sampler will depend on the face velocity during sampling. For example, it can
3
be estimated by Stokes Law that pulling air through a 100 mm filter at 15 m /h will collect particles smaller than about
3
40 µm. At a sampling rate of 6 m /h, particles less than about 20 µm would be captured. Reducing the sampling rate
3
further to 1,5 m /h would collect particles smaller than 10 µm to 12 µm. Experience shows for indoor air measurements
that there is little or no significant differences in what is measured with the same sampling module at different flow rates
3
down to 1,5 m /h. Likewise, if a size-selective inlet (e.g. PM or PM ) is used, there should be little effect on the total
2,5 10
PCB/PCDD/PCDF content of the sample unless there is a nearby emission source of particle-associated compounds.

There are a number of sampling systems capable of providing air flows from 1,5 m /h to 16 m /h, some of
which may have air flow controls that can be set over a wide range to provide the desired sampling rate.
Limitations on permissible air sampling rates and volumes are discussed in Clause 8. Some examples of
sampling systems are presented in Annex A.

Table 2 (PCBs). For TEQ and WHO-TEQ , see Clause C.3.
PCB
The extraction standards should be added to the various sampling media immediately after the samples are
13
received in the laboratory. The C -labelled congeners are used for quantification because they behave
12
exactly like the extracted native PCBs/PCDDs/PCDFs during the clean-up, due to their nearly identical
chemical and physical properties. The injection standards (see Table 1) are for determining the recovery rates.
The masses specified in Table 1 and Table 2 of standards to be used shall to be adjusted appropriately if
considerably higher masses of native PCBs/PCDDs/PCDFs are expected in the sample. The use and
handling of the extraction and recovery standards are described in ISO 16000-14.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.

Introduction
The different parts of ISO 16000 describe general requirements relating to the measurement of indoor air
pollutants and the important conditions to be observed before or during the sampling of individual pollutants or
groups of pollutants as well as the measurement procedures themselves (see Foreword).
This part of ISO 16000 is applicable to the collection from indoor air of dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls
(PCBs), polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) and to the
preparation of sampling media required for sampling. The same sampling methods described here are also
applicable to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) made up of two or more fused aromatic rings.
Procedures for preparation and extraction of sampling media for PAHs and for the analytical determination of
PAHs are given in ISO 12884, and therefore are not included here.
The sampling strategy to analyse PCBs, PCDDs/PCDFs and PAHs in indoor air is described in ISO 16000-12.
Several PCBs and PCDDs/PCDFs are considered to be potential human carcinogens. There are 209 individual
PCBs (congeners), 75 PCDDs and 135 PCDFs. The most toxic PCBs are those that are coplanar and
structurally similar to PCDDs. The most toxic PCDD is 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzodibenzo-p-dioxin
(2,3,7,8-TCDD).
PCBs are emitted into the indoor air primarily from concrete sealers, certain paints, or electrical capacitors, all
of which have been banned in recent years. The principal sources of PCDDs/PCDFs in indoor air are
impurities in wood preservatives containing pentachlorophenol (PCP) and emissions from fires involving
chlorinated products. Tracked-in soil and emissions from nearby landfills and abandoned industrial sites may
also contribute PCBs and PCDDs/PCDFs to the indoor environment.
Total PCB concentrations (six marker PCBs: PCB-28, -52, -101, -138, -153, and -180 multiplied by 5) in urban
3
outdoor air typically range from 10 to several hundred picograms per cubic metre (pg/m ). PCDDs/PCDFs are
3
usually found in urban outdoor air at extremely low concentrations; e.g. femtograms per cubic metre (fg/m ) to
3
picograms per cubic metre (pg/m ). PCBs and PCDDs/PCDFs may be distributed between the gas and
particle-associated phases in ambient or indoor air, depending on the temperature, humidity, degree of
chlorination, their concentration, and their capacity to associate with suspended particulate matter. These
−8
compounds, especially those having vapour pressures above 10 kPa, will tend to vaporize from particle
filters during sampling. Consequently, a back-up sorbent trap is included for efficient sampling. Separate
analyses of the filter and sorbent trap will not reflect the original atmospheric phase distributions at normal
ambient temperatures because of volatilization of compounds from the filter and should not be attempted.
Shipping of PCDD/PCDF standards has to comply with the national legal regulations. They have to be
transported in special containers, which are commercially available. Handling should only be done by trained
operators.
This part of ISO 16000 describes sampling of polychlorinated dioxin-like biphenyls (PCBs) and polychlorinated
dibenzo-p-dioxins/dibenzofurans (PCDDs/PCDFs). Extraction, clean-up and analysis are described in
ISO 16000-14.

1 Scope
This part of ISO 16000 specifies sampling and preparation of sampling media for dioxin-like polychlorinated
biphenyls (PCBs), polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) in
indoor air (see Table C.1). The method incorporates a sampling procedure that collects PCBs and
PCDFs/PCDDs from air on a fine-particle filter backed up by a sorbent trap. The method cannot be used to
separately determine gaseous PCBs and PCDFs/PCDDs and those that are particle-associated because
some of the compounds will volatilize from the filter and be collected by the sorbent trap. This part of
ISO 16000 does not address analytical methods for PCBs PCDDs and PCDFs, which are included in
ISO 16000-14. (ISO 16000-13 and ISO 16000-14 are both parts of the overall measurement procedure for the
determination of PCBs and PCDDs/PCDFs.)
Combined with the analytical procedures specified in ISO 16000-14, which incorporate specific analyses by
high-resolution gas chromatography combined with high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRGC/HRMS), this
3
method is capable of detecting 0,2 pg/m or lower concentrations of most PCBs and PCDFs/PCDDs. However,
3
it may not be possible to detect all analytes at 0,2 pg/m or lower, especially at lower sampling rates. To
3
achieve adequate detection limits, no less than 50 m of air should be sampled. For normal measurement
3 3
tasks, sampling volumes up to 360 m are employed (equivalent to a sampling period of 24 h at 16 m /h or 7 d
3
at 2 m /h). The method has been validated for sampling periods up to seven days. With the use of larger
3
sorbent traps, sampling volumes up to 1 000 m have been validated.
Sampling precision under normal conditions can be expected to be ± 25 % or better and uncertainty ± 50 % or
better.
If the appropriate restrictions are applied, this method can be used for small rooms, for example children’s
rooms as well as for offices.

5 Principle
PCBs, PCDDs, and PCDFs are collected directly from indoor atmospheres by pulling a sample of air through
a fine particle filter backed up with a sorbent trap consisting of polyurethane foam (PUF). Low-volatility
compounds associated with airborne particulate matter are collected primarily on the particle filter. Gaseous
compounds that pass through the filter and compounds that vaporize from the filter are collected by the
polyurethane foam trap.
The method is applicable to rooms in residences, office buildings, and public or commercial facilities including
those with large interior spaces (e.g. factories, warehouses, enclosed stadiums). The sampling flow rate and
volume of air collected will depend on the size of the room or interior space being sampled. It may range from
3 3
1,5 m /h to 16 m /h according to the measurement task.
The sampling media (filter plus PUF) are combined and extracted together. Extraction procedures are
13
normally based on Soxhlet extraction with toluene or an equivalent solvent. C -labelled PCB/PCDD/PCDF
12
standards are added before sampling and extraction to monitor sampling efficiency and recovery. Spiking with
13
C -labelled PCBs/PCDDs/PCDFs before sampling is necessary to determine the overall recoveries of the
12
PCB/PCDD/PCDF congeners. Losses during extraction and clean-up are detected and compensated by using
these isotopically-labelled surrogates as internal extraction standards for quantification, together with recovery
standards that are added just before the HRGC/HRMS analysis.
6 Apparatus and materials
6.1 Sampling apparatus
A schematic of a typical sampling system is shown in Figure 1 and that of a typical sampling module is shown
in Figure 2.
The sampling module shown in Figure 2 is the basis of the outdoor sampler for polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons (PAHs) described in ISO 12884. It is based on a published design (Reference [6]) and is also
used for determination of PCDDs and PCDFs in ambient air (Reference [7]). A module of this design having
3
the same dimensions as those described in ISO 12884 may be used for sampling rates from 1,5 m /h to
3 3
16 m /h and total air volumes up to 360 m depending on the capacity of the air sampling system used.
Modules of this basic design having various dimensions and configurations may be used if validated.
NOTE The particle capture velocity of a sampler will depend on the face velocity during sampling. For example, it can
3
be estimated by Stokes Law that pulling air through a 100 mm filter at 15 m /h will collect particles smaller than about
3
40 µm. At a sampling rate of 6 m /h, particles less than about 20 µm would be captured. Reducing the sampling rate
3
further to 1,5 m /h would collect particles smaller than 10 µm to 12 µm. Experience shows for indoor air measurements
that there is little or no significant differences in what is measured with the same sampling module at different flow rates
3
down to 1,5 m /h. Likewise, if a size-selective inlet (e.g. PM or PM ) is used, there should be little effect on the total
2,5 10
PCB/PCDD/PCDF content of the sample unless there is a nearby emission source of particle-associated compounds.

There are a number of sampling systems capable of providing air flows from 1,5 m /h to 16 m /h, some of
which may have air flow controls that can be set over a wide range to provide the desired sampling rate.
Limitations on permissible air sampling rates and volumes are discussed in Clause 8. Some examples of
sampling systems are presented in Annex A.

ISO 16000-13:2008(F)
Introduction
Les différentes parties de l'ISO 16000 décrivent les exigences générales s'appliquant au mesurage des
polluants de l'air intérieur et les conditions importantes à observer avant et pendant l'échantillonnage de
polluants individuels ou de groupes de polluants, ainsi que les modes opératoires de mesurage proprement
dits (voir Avant-propos).
La présente partie de l'ISO 16000 s'applique au prélèvement des polychlorobiphényles (PCB) de type
dioxines, des polychlorodibenzo-p-dioxines (PCDD) et des polychlorodibenzofuranes (PCDF) dans l'air
intérieur, et à la préparation des supports d'échantillonnage requis pour l'échantillonnage. Les méthodes
d'échantillonnage décrites ici sont également applicables aux hydrocarbures aromatiques polycycliques (HAP)
à au moins deux cycles aromatiques. Les modes opératoires de préparation et d'extraction des supports
d'échantillonnage des HAP ainsi que de dosage analytique des HAP sont donnés dans l'ISO 12884 et sont,
par conséquent, exclus du présent document.
La stratégie d'échantillonnage pour l'analyse des PCB, des PCDD/PCDF et des HAP dans l'air intérieur est
décrite dans l'ISO 16000-12.
Plusieurs PCB et PCDD/PCDF sont considérés comme étant potentiellement cancérigènes pour l'Homme. Il
existe 209 PCB individuels (congénères), 75 PCDD et 135 PCDF. Les PCB les plus toxiques sont les PCB
coplanaires dont la structure est similaire à celle des PCDD. La PCDD la plus toxique est la
2,3,7,8-tétrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxine (2,3,7,8-TCDD).
Les PCB sont principalement émis dans l'air intérieur par les enduits extérieurs, certaines peintures et les
condensateurs électriques. Tous ont récemment été interdits. Les principales sources de PCDD/PCDF dans
l'air intérieur sont les impuretés des produits de préservation du bois, qui contiennent du pentachlorophénol
(PCP), et les émissions d'incendies impliquant des produits chlorés. Le sol amené des décharges et les
émissions issues de sites industriels abandonnés situés à proximité des bâtiments peuvent aussi contribuer à
la présence de PCB et de PCDD/PCDF dans l'environnement intérieur.
La concentration totale en PCB (six PCB marqueurs: PCB-28, -52, -101, -138, -153 et -180 multipliés par 5)
de l'air extérieur urbain est généralement comprise entre 10 et plusieurs centaines de picogrammes par mètre
3
cube (pg/m ). Dans l'air extérieur urbain, les PCDD/PCDF se trouvent habituellement à des concentrations
3
très faibles, par exemple de l'ordre du femtogramme par mètre cube (fg/m ) au picogramme par mètre cube
3
(pg/m ). Les PCB et les PCDD/PCDF peuvent être répartis entre les phases gazeuse et particulaire de l'air
ambiant ou de l'air intérieur, en fonction de la température, de l'humidité, du degré de chloration, de leur
concentration et de leur capacité à s'associer à la matière particulaire en suspension. Ces composés, en
−8
particulier ceux dont la pression de vapeur est supérieure à 10 kPa, ont tendance à s'évaporer des filtres à
particules au cours de l'échantillonnage. Par conséquent, un piège adsorbant supplémentaire est présent
pour garantir l'efficacité de l'échantillonnage. L'analyse séparée du filtre et du piège adsorbant ne permet pas
d'obtenir la distribution des phases atmosphériques d'origine à température ambiante normale, en raison de la
volatilisation des composés du filtre. Par conséquent, il convient de ne pas réaliser ce type d'analyse.
L'expédition des étalons de PCDD/PCDF doit se conformer aux réglementations nationales. Ces composés
doivent être transportés dans des conteneurs spéciaux disponibles dans le commerce. Il convient de confier
leur manipulation uniquement à des opérateurs formés à cet effet.
La présente partie de l'ISO 16000 décrit l'échantillonnage des polychlorobiphényles (PCB) de type dioxines,
des polychlorodibenzo-p-dioxines (PCDD) et des polychlorodibenzofuranes (PCDF). L'extraction, la purification
et l'analyse sont décrits dans l'ISO 16000-14.

polychlorodibenzo-p-dioxines
(PCDD)/polychlorodibenzofuranes (PCDF) totaux (en phase
gazeuse et en phase particulaire) — Collecte sur des filtres
adsorbants
1 Domaine d'application
La présente partie de l'ISO 16000 spécifie l'échantillonnage et la préparation des supports d'échantillonnage
des polychlorobiphényles (PCB) de type dioxine, des polychlorodibenzo-p-dioxines (PCDD) et des
polychlorodibenzofuranes (PCDF) dans l'air intérieur (voir Tableau C.1). La méthode intègre un mode
opératoire d'échantillonnage dans lequel les PCB et les PCDD/PCDF sont prélevés dans l'air sur un filtre à
fines particules muni d'un piège adsorbant. La méthode ne convient pas au dosage séparé des PCB et des
PCDD/PCDF gazeux et de ceux liés aux particules, car certains composés qui s'évaporent du filtre sont
recueillis par le piège adsorbant. La présente partie de l'ISO 16000 ne concerne pas les méthodes
analytiques relatives aux PCB, PCDD et PCDF qui sont traitées dans l'ISO 16000-14. (L'ISO 16000-13 et
l'ISO 16000-14 sont les deux parties qui traitent du mode opératoire général de mesure des PCB et des
PCDD/PCDF.)
Associée aux modes opératoires d'analyse spécifiés dans l'ISO 16000-14, qui inclut des analyses spécifiques
par chromatographie en phase gazeuse haute résolution et spectrométrie de masse haute résolution
(HRGC/HRMS), la présente méthode permet de détecter la plupart des PCB et des PCDF/PCDD à des
3
concentrations égales ou inférieures à 0,2 pg/m . Toutefois, il n'est pas toujours possible de détecter tous les
analytes présents à de telles concentrations, en particulier à de plus faibles débits d'échantillonnage. Pour
3
atteindre des limites de détection adéquates, il convient d'échantillonner au moins 50 m d'air. Pour des
3
opérations de mesurage normales, des volumes d'échantillonnage allant jusqu'à 360 m sont utilisés
3 3
(l'équivalent d'une période d'échantillonnage de 24 heures à 16 m /h ou de 7 jours à 2 m /h). La méthode a
été validée pour des périodes d'échantillonnage pouvant atteindre 7 jours. Avec des pièges adsorbants de
3
plus grande capacité, des volumes d'échantillonnage allant jusqu'à 1 000 m ont été validés.
La fidélité prévisible de l'échantillonnage dans des conditions normales peut atteindre ± 25 % ou plus et
l'incertitude ± 50 % ou plus.
Si les restrictions qui s'imposent sont appliquées, la présente méthode convient aux petites pièces, par
exemple les chambres d'enfants ou les bureaux.

5 Principe
Les PCB, les PCDD et les PCDF sont prélevés directement dans l'environnement intérieur par aspiration d'un
échantillon d'air à travers un filtre à fines particules muni d'un piège adsorbant en mousse de polyuréthanne
(PUF). Les composés peu volatils associés à la matière particulaire en suspension dans l'air sont
principalement prélevés sur le filtre à particules. Les composés gazeux qui passent à travers le filtre et les
composés qui s'évaporent du filtre sont recueillis par le piège en mousse de polyuréthanne.
La méthode est applicable aux pièces des habitations, des bureaux et des bâtiments publics ou commerciaux,
y compris ceux présentant de vastes espaces intérieurs (par exemple usines, entrepôts, stades fermés). Le
débit d'échantillonnage et le volume d'air prélevé dépendent de la taille de la pièce ou de l'espace intérieur
3 3
examinés. Le débit peut être compris entre 1,5 m /h et 16 m /h selon la tâche de mesurage.
Les supports d'échantillonnage (filtre et PUF) sont associés et extraits ensemble. Les modes opératoires
d'extraction sont normalement fondés sur l'extraction au Soxhlet à l'aide de toluène ou d'un solvant équivalent.
13
Les PCB/PCDD/PCDF étalons marqués au C sont ajoutés avant l'échantillonnage et l'extraction afin de
12
suivre l'efficacité de prélèvement et le rendement. Le marquage à l'aide de PCB/PCDD/PCDF marqués au
13
C avant échantillonnage est nécessaire à la détermination des taux de récupération des congénères de
12
PCB/PCDD/PCDF. Les pertes subies au cours de l'extraction et de la purification sont détectées et
compensées en utilisant ces substituts marqués par des isotopes comme étalons internes d'extraction pour la
quantification en même temps que les étalons de récupération ajoutés juste avant l'analyse par HRGC/HRMS.

Le module d'échantillonnage représenté à la Figure 2 est la base de l'échantillonneur d'air extérieur utilisé
pour les hydrocarbures aromatiques polycycliques (HAP) décrit dans l'ISO 12884. Il repose sur un modèle
ayant fait l'objet d'une publication (Référence [6]) et sert également au dosage des PCDD et des PCDF dans
l'air ambiant (Référence [7]). Un module de ce type dont les dimensions sont celles du module décrit dans
3 3
l'ISO 12884 peut être utilisé pour des débits de prélèvement de 1,5 m /h à 16 m /h et des volumes totaux d'air
3
de 360 m , selon la capacité du dispositif d'échantillonnage d'air utilisé. Des modules de ce type, de
dimensions et de configurations diverses, peuvent être utilisés à condition d'être validés.
NOTE La vitesse de capture des particules d'un échantillonneur dépend de la vitesse frontale pendant
l'échantillonnage. Par exemple, d'après la loi de Stokes, il peut être estimé que l'aspiration d'air par un filtre de 100 mm à
3 3
un débit de 15 m /h prélève des particules inférieures à environ 40 µm. À un débit de prélèvement de 6 m /h, des
3
particules inférieures à environ 20 µm sont capturées. En réduisant de nouveau le débit de prélèvement à 1,5 m /h, des
particules inférieures à 10 µm à 12 µm sont recueillies. Pour les mesurages liés à l'air intérieur, l'expérience montre que
3
les différences de mesurage avec le même module d'échantillonnage à différents débits baissant jusqu'à 1,5 m /h sont
nulles ou négligeables. De même, l'utilisation d'une entrée sélective de fraction granulométrique (par exemple MP ou
2,5
MP ) a peu d'effet sur la teneur totale en PCB/PCDD/PCDF de l'échantillon, à moins qu'une source d'émissions de
10
composés associés à des particules ne se trouve à proximité.
3 3
De nombreux dispositifs d'échantillonnage peuvent fournir des débits d'air de 1,5 m /h à 16 m /h; certains
sont équipés de régulateurs de débit dont la plage de réglage est très grande, ce qui permet de sélectionner
le débit de prélèvement voulu. Les restrictions concernant les débits de prélèvement et les volumes d'air
prélevés autorisés sont abordées à l'Article 8. Des exemples de dispositifs d'échantillonnage sont présentés à
l'Annexe A.
6.2 Matériaux d'échantillonnage
6.2.1 Mousse de polyuréthanne, à alvéoles ouverts, de type polyéther, d'une masse volumique de
3
22 mg/cm , coupée en cylindres de 76 mm de longueur et de 62 mm de diamètre ou en d'autres dimensions
adaptées au module d'échantillonnage spécifiquement utilisé. Ils sont disponibles dans le commerce auprès
de plusieurs fournisseurs. Il convient que le diamètre des cylindres en PUF soit légèrement plus grand que le
diamètre intérieur de la cartouche adsorbante afin que l'air ne passe pas autour mais à travers les cylindres.
Le nettoyage est réalisé conformément à l'Article 7.
6.2.2 Filtre, en fibre de microquartz ou de verre, sans liant, rincé à l'acide, avec une efficacité de filtration
de 99,99 % en fraction massique ou plus pour les particules inférieures à 0,5 µm ou d'autre filtre de
dimensions adaptées au module d'échantillonnage spécifiquement utilisé. L'efficacité doit être certifiée par le
fournisseur du filtre.
