AS 3580.9.10:2017 PDF
Sets out a gravimetric method for determination of PM2.5 in ambient air utilizing low volume sequential and non-sequential samplers equipped with size selective inlets.
This Standard was prepared by the Joint Standards Australia/Standards New Zealand Committee EV-007, Methods for Examination of Air, to supersede AS/NZS 3580.9.10:2006.
After consultation with stakeholders in both countries, Standards Australia and Standards New Zealand decided to develop this Standard as an Australian Standard rather than an Australian/New Zealand Standard.
The objective of this Standard is to provide regulatory and testing bodies with a standard method for determining suspended particulate matter with an equivalent aerodynamic diameter of less than 2.5 µm utilizing a low volume sampler and size selective inlet.
This Standard deals with the determination of suspended particulate matter with an equivalent aerodynamic diameter (EAD) of less than approximately 2.5 m (PM2.5). This is one in a series of Standards for the determination of particulate matter in ambient air.
