Methods for sampling and analysis of ambient air - Guide to siting air monitoring equipment
This standard sets out general guidelines for the siting of ambient air monitoring equipment and specifies a number of siting parameters for individual air pollutants. In practice, an ideal site satisfying all the criteria is rarely achieved. This standard includes sampling protocol for fixed point and, where appropriate, open path monitoring equipment. This standard is applicable to the siting of an individual monitoring unit for specific purposes or to air monitoring equipment within a network. This standard does not include the detailed design of a network of monitoring units.
