Standardisation of a European measurement method for the determination of mercury in deposition: results of the field trial campaign and determination of a measurement uncertainty and working range

A standard method for the measurement of mercury in deposition is currently being finalised by Working Group 25 of the European Committee for Standardisation’s Technical Committee 264 ‘Air Quality’, in response to the requirements of the European Union’s Fourth Air Quality Daughter Directive.

Description
Summary:A standard method for the measurement of mercury in deposition is currently being finalised by Working Group 25 of the European Committee for Standardisation’s Technical Committee 264 ‘Air Quality’, in response to the requirements of the European Union’s Fourth Air Quality Daughter Directive. This paper reports the results of a field measurement programme which was undertaken to assess the uncertainty of the proposed standard method, define its working range and determine its compliance with the required data quality objectives of the Fourth Air Quality Daughter Directive.
