BS EN 13936:2014EN 13936:2014 (E) 5 Introduction EN 482 specifies gen

24、eral requirements for the performance of procedures that methods for the measurement of the concentration of chemical agents in workplace atmospheres should meet. These performance criteria include maximum values of expanded uncertainty achievable under prescribed laboratory conditions for the metho

25、ds to be used. Chemical agents in workplace air are often present in both gaseous and non-gaseous phases at the same time and therefore validated methods are required that can measure the combined concentration of the chemical agent in both phases. Examples include: processes that generate aerosols

26、of volatile or semi-volatile liquids or solids such a paint spraying, metalworking with coolants and lubricants, acid pickling etc. and hot processes which generate vapours of chemical agents that are normally in the liquid or solid phase under ambient conditions, e.g. road surfacing with bitumen. F

27、or health-related sampling of mixed-phase aerosols, it is necessary to measure the mass concentration of the inhalable fraction of hazardous chemical agents, regardless of whether they are present as airborne particles or vapour. This generally means drawing air through two or more collection media

28、in series. If a chemical agent is collected in the form of airborne particles and it has a significant vapour pressure under ambient conditions, it will wholly or partly volatilise during sampling. Subsequently the resulting vapour needs to be collected so that the total mass of the chemical agent c

29、an be measured; the chemical agent can also be lost from the collected airborne particles after sampling if it is not stabilised. In some cases, it might also be necessary to measure the distribution of chemical agents between the particulate and vapour phases as well as the mass concentration of th

30、e inhalable fraction. For example, there can be compounds whose toxicology is known to differ significantly depending on whether they exist as airborne particles or vapour. In addition, control measures in the workplace can depend on which phase dominates. Exposure limits can be phase-specific. Howe

31、ver, the separate quantification of airborne particles and vapour is technically complex and subject to error using existing sampling technologies. For this reason, this European Standard is not applicable to methods that differentiate between the sampled airborne particles and vapour. BS EN 13936:2

32、014EN 13936:2014 (E) 6 1 Scope This European Standard specifies performance requirements and test methods for the evaluation of procedures for measuring a chemical agent present as a mixture of airborne particles and vapour in workplace air. This European Standard establishes general principles to e

33、nable developers and users of mixed-phase samplers and methods to adopt a consistent approach to method validation and provides a framework for the assessment of method performance in accordance with EN 482. Annex A of this European Standard gives guidance on possible approaches to sample mixtures o

34、f airborne particles and vapour and Annex B gives information about their physical behaviour. This European Standard is not applicable to methods that differentiate between the sampled airborne particles and vapour. This European Standard is not applicable to a chemical agent present in different ch

35、emical and physical forms (for example, mercury in the form of Hg (0) and Hg (II). 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.
