This document specifies a method for collecting samples of airborne particulate matter for subsequent determination of metals and metalloids using inductively coupled plasma — atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES). Samples obtained using the method described herein can also be subsequently analysed for elemental composition by other instrumental methods, such as atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) or inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS).
The method is not applicable to the sa...view more

This document specifies a number of suitable methods for preparing test solutions from samples of airborne particulate matter collected using the method specified in ISO 15202‑1, for subsequent determination of metals and metalloids by ICP‑AES using the method specified in ISO 15202‑3. It contains information about the applicability of the methods with respect to the measurement of metals and metalloids for which limit values have been set. The methods can also be used in the measurement of some...view more

This document is a standard for the analysis by Fourier-Transform Infrared (FTIR) of respirable
crystalline silica (RCS) in samples of air collected on collection substrates (i.e. filters or foams). Three
analytical approaches are described for whom the dust from the sample collection substrate is
a) analysed directly on sampled filter,
b) recovered, treated and deposited onto another filter for analysis, or
c) recovered, treated and pressed into a potassium bromide (KBr) pellet for analysi...view more

This document specifies a method for the sampling and analysis of airborne organic isocyanates in
workplace air.
This document is applicable to a wide range of organic compounds containing isocyanate groups,
including monofunctional isocyanates (e.g. phenyl isocyanate), diisocyanate monomers [e.g.
1,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI), toluene diisocyanate (TDI), 4,4′-diphenylmethane diisocyanate
(MDI), and isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI)], prepolymers (e.g. the biuret and isocyanurate of HDI...view more

ISO 16639:2017 provides best practices and performance-based criteria for the use of air sampling devices and systems, including retrospective samplers and continuous air monitors. Specifically, this document covers air sampling program objectives, design of air sampling and monitoring programs to meet program objectives, methods for air sampling and monitoring in the workplace, and quality assurance to ensure system performance toward protecting workers against unnecessary inhalation exposures....view more
