[Current]Methods for sampling and analysis of ambient air, Method 9.6: Determination of suspended particulate matter — PM10 high volume sampler with size selective inlet — Gravimetric method
Specifies a gravimetric method for the determination of suspended particulate matter in ambient air. The method provides a measure of mean concentration of PM10 over the sampling period employed. A procedure for assessing the performance of PM10 samplers, so that they comply with the sampling requirements of this method, is also described.
