What is BS EN 1747-13– Methods for Measurement of air pollution about?
BS EN 1747-13 specifies a method based on acid digestion and atomic absorption spectrometry for the chemical analysis of lead samples collected on filters from ambient air.
The method described in BS EN 1747-13 is applicable to ambient air samples with particulate lead contents, such that the amount of deposited particulate lead collected on the filter of the sampling equipment is greater than 1 4g if the final determination is made by flame atomic absorption spectrometry. Final determination by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry allows measurement of quantities of less than 1 4g, but is only applicable after experimental validation of detection limits.
Who is BS EN 1747-13– Methods for Measurement of air pollution for?
BS EN 1747-13 on measurement of air pollution is relevant to:
- Manufacturers of air quality controlling devices such as diffusers
- Researchers and scientists
- Environmentalists
- Manufacturers of aerosols
Why should you use BS EN 1747-13– Methods for Measurement of air pollution?
Particulate material collected on a filter is digested with acid. Any lead present is solubilized, and the sample solution analysed by atomic absorption spectrometry.
BS EN 1747-13 specifies requirements and test methods for determining the particulate lead content of aerosols collected on filters using the atomic absorption spectrometric method.
BS EN 1747-13 describes the performance characteristics and sets the relevant minimum criteria required for determining the particulate lead content of aerosols in gases and vapor.
In BS EN 1747-13, performance criteria and test procedures for measuring air quality are provided to test and manufacture air quality measuring diffusers. This helps create an improved solution to deal with harmful gasses emitted by stationary sources, which are very toxic.
As a whole, BS EN 1747-13 is a best practice guidance standard that provides complete requirements and test procedures for determining the lead content in vapor and gases using a diffuser and controlling their quality, which will reduce pollution, increase efficiency, and ease health concerns.
