ISO 7708 Particulate Matter Sampling Test
The ISO 7708 standard provides a comprehensive method for sampling and measuring particulate matter in air. This service is crucial for ensuring compliance with international environmental regulations, particularly in sectors such as manufacturing, construction, transportation, and waste management.
Particulate matter (PM) refers to solid or liquid particles suspended in the atmosphere that can have significant impacts on human health and the environment. These particles are typically classified into two categories based on their aerodynamic diameter: PM10 (particles with a diameter of 10 microns or less) and PM2.5 (particles with a diameter of 2.5 microns or less). The ISO 7708 standard focuses primarily on sampling these fine particulates.
The test methodology involves the use of filter-based samplers that capture particles from air samples over specified periods. After collection, the filters are analyzed to determine the mass concentration of particulate matter. This process is critical in identifying sources of pollution and assessing compliance with environmental standards such as those set by the World Health Organization (WHO) and various national agencies.
The importance of this service cannot be overstated, especially for industries that operate in densely populated areas or near sensitive environments like hospitals and schools. By providing accurate measurements, our lab ensures that clients can make informed decisions regarding emissions reduction strategies and compliance with regulatory requirements.
Our team of experts uses state-of-the-art equipment to ensure precise and reliable results. We adhere strictly to ISO 7708 guidelines, which include detailed instructions on sampling techniques, filter types, and sample handling procedures. This ensures that the data collected is consistent and comparable across different testing environments.
The scope of our service extends beyond mere compliance checks; it also offers valuable insights into operational efficiencies and potential areas for improvement. By understanding the particulate matter levels in your specific environment, you can optimize processes to minimize emissions further. Additionally, this information helps in planning maintenance schedules and ensuring that all equipment is functioning optimally.
To perform an ISO 7708 Particulate Matter Sampling Test, we begin by selecting appropriate samplers based on the expected particle size distribution and concentration levels. We then deploy these samplers at predetermined locations within your facility or project site. Once sampling is complete, the filters are removed carefully to avoid contamination and transported back to our lab for analysis.
During analysis, our experienced technicians use advanced analytical techniques such as gravimetric methods to measure the mass of particulate matter collected on each filter. For PM2.5 samples, we also employ laser scattering techniques which provide additional particle size distribution data. This comprehensive approach ensures that we capture all relevant information about the particulates present in your air.
The results are then compiled into detailed reports that include all necessary parameters such as total suspended particulate (TSP) levels, PM10 and PM2.5 concentrations, and any other specific criteria required by regulatory bodies or internal policies. These reports serve not only as proof of compliance but also as valuable tools for ongoing monitoring and improvement initiatives.
