BS EN 15980:2011 Air quality. Determination of the deposition of benz[a]anthracene, benzo[b]fluoranthene, benzo[j]fluoranthene, benzo[k]fluoranthene, benzo[a]pyrene, dibenz[a,h]anthracene and indeno[1,2,3-cd]pyrene
This document specifies a method for the determination of the bulk deposition of benz[a]anthracene (BaA),
benzo[b]fluoranthene (BbF), benzo[j]fluoranthene (BjF), benzo[k]fluoranthene (BkF), benzo[a]pyrene (BaP),
dibenz[a,h]anthracene (DBahA) and indeno[1,2,3-cd]pyrene (INP), which can be used in the framework of
Directive 2004/107/EC. This European Standard specifies performance requirements with which the method
has to comply in order to meet the data quality objectives given in this Directive.
This document specifies methods for sampling, sample preparation and analysis using gas chromatography
with mass spectroscopic detection (GC/MS) or high performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence
detection (HPLC/FLD). The funnel-bottle bulk collector is used as the standard collector.
The method is applicable for deposition measurements in
rural and remote areas,
industrial areas,
urban areas.
The standard is applicable in the range from a few ng/(m⋅ d) to a few hundred ng/(m⋅ d).
