PART IVReference method for the sampling and measurement of PM10
The reference method for the sampling and measurement of PM10 will be that described in EN 12341 “ Air Quality — Field Test Procedure to Demonstrate Reference Equivalence of Sampling Methods for the PM10 fraction of particulate matter” (1). The measurement principle is based on the collection on a filter of the PM10 fraction of ambient particulate matter and the gravimetric mass determination.
