This European Standard specifies the long-term sampling of PCDDs/PCDFs/PCBs. There are three different sampling methods, which are based on the three different principles described of EN 1948-1, but partially modified for long-term sampling requirements:
— filter/condenser method;
— dilution method;
— cooled probe method.
Each sampling method is illustrated in detail in an Annex. The sampling methods described in this document are designed for a sampling duration of typically up to four weeks.
Additionally, this document specifies a framework of quality control requirements to be applied respectively recommended for any long-term sampling method.
With the methods described, experiences were gained for a concentration range up to 4,0 ng TEQ/m³, respectively at various stationary sources (e.g., waste incinerators, sinter plants, cement kilns).
NOTE: If the word "harmonized" (marked in green) is not found in the field with the name of the directive, it means that the European standard is not cited in the OJEU.
