Book Description
The AST manual offers 16 updated chapters on the familiar topics covered in previous ASI publications. These familiar topics include an overview of air sampling methodologies: instrumentation and analytical techniques for evaluation of atmospheric contaminants; direct-reading instruments for gases, vapors and airborne particles; particle size-selective sampling, particle and gas phase interactions sampler calibration, sampling insturmentation for bioaerosols and airborne radiocativity, air sampling pumps and accessories, impactors, cyclones, and other particle collectors; performance standards and criteria for air sampling and monitoring instruments, air monitoring techniques such as direct-reading Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, applications of denuder systems and diffusion batters, and stack and duct sampling. -- adapted from foreword.
