Ambient air. Sampling and analysis of airborne pollen grains and fungal spores for allergy networks. Volumetric Hirst method. | Status: Superseded, Withdrawn

1 Scope This European Standard specifies the procedure to sample continuously and analyse the concentration of airborne pollen grains and fungal spores in ambient air using the volumetric Hirst type sampler [1][2][3] (see Annex A). This European Standard describes both the sampling and the analysis procedures for the purpose of allergy networks.
