Scope

What is BS EN 17359 about?    BS EN 17359 discusses stationary source emissions on bioaerosols and biological agents. BS EN 17359 contains specifications for an active sampling of bioaerosols from exhaust air flowing through a defined cross-section of a stack. BS EN 17359 defines general principles that have to be considered during an isokinetic sampling campaign for bioaerosols by bubbling the exhaust air through a specific impinger designed for emission measurements. BS EN 17359 applies with culturable organisms that is specified, but the same principle might be applicable for non-cultural based methods (e.g. molecular and/or enzyme-based methods).   The impinger is designed to allow a sample volume flow of 1 m3/h to 1,8 m3/h or 16 l/min to 30 l/min, respectively, and has been tested with regard to various microorganisms within the broad concentration ranges [1; 2; 3; 4].
