Methods for sampling and analysis of ambient air Determination of suspended particulate matter - PM10 continuous direct mass method using a tapered element oscillating microbalance monitor incorporating a filter dynamic measurement system (FDMS) unit
Standards Australia
This Standard sets out a method for the continuous determination of PM10 particulate matter in ambient air using a tapered element oscillating microbalance (TEOM) monitor incorporating a filter dynamic measurement system (FDMS) unit. The method can provide a measure of average particle concentration over periods from 1 hour to 24 hours. The rolling 1-hour average is updated every 6 minutes, whereas the rolling 24-hour average mass concentration is updated every 60 minutes on the hour. Results are normally reported as
24-hour, time-integrated average values.
This Standard covers the measurement of PM10 concentrations using the TEOM 1405-F monitor. Where measurement of PM10 concentrations is conducted using a TEOM 1405-DF monitor, users should refer to AS/NZS 3580.9.13.
