Description

Performance specification standards have been developed as part of the revision and update of the Alberta Air Monitoring Directive. The specification standard sheets were designed to provide a reference for approved methods and minimum performance specifications to assure the consistency and reliability of continuous ambient air quality measurement in the province. Each specification standard sheet includes the following categories: field of application; air monitoring objectives; operational methods; minimum specifications; operational requirements; calibration requirements; reporting requirements; and additional information.

Description

To obtain timely data for the purpose of air quality assessment, air quality trend reporting and to meet the requirements for inclusion of the data in provincial and national air quality databases, a 24-hour method of sampling and analyzing Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) concentrations in ambient air is used. Commercially available VOC gaseous samplers are used in this method. This method is applicable for the measurement of VOC concentrations in ambient air in the range of 0.01 to 20 parts per billion (ppb) range.
