Standard operating procedure for elemental and organic carbon (EC and OC) using non-dispersive infrared detection (NDIR). Revision 1.0

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 continuous method of analyzing Elemental and Organic Carbon concentration in ambient air samples is used. This method is capable of measurement updates at a rate of once every three hours or faster. A collection period from 1 to 12 hours can be specified by the operator. Readings from instruments of this method enables the calculation of hourly/multi-hourly averaged concentrations of Elemental and Organic Carbon. Commercially available Elemental and Organic Carbon analyzers are used in the method.
