Ambient air - Automatic real time volumetric methods for sampling and analysis of airborne pollen grains and fungal spores cen:proj:79254

Scope

This Technical Specification describes the requirements for measurement devices automatically identifying the taxa and corresponding concentrations of pollen and fungal spores in ambient air. The document is intended to present requirements that apply regardless of the measurement technique used and applies equally to all processes described. The document describes the minimum requirements that an automatic pollen or fungal spore measurement shall meet so that the data generated can be used by the end user, no matter the field of interest. For simplicity, the term real-time is used from hereon to refer to both real- and near real-time provision of data. This term is thus used to cover all measurements that can be provided within the space of minutes to a few hours after the observation has been made.
