EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ISO 16000-12 testing. ISO 16000-12 for polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), also known as polychlorinated oxanthenes (PCDDs), polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs), and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in indoor air Specifies the scheduling of measurements.
When it comes to indoor air measurements, careful planning of the sampling and the entire measurement strategy is particularly important because the result of the measurement can have far-reaching consequences, such as the need for corrective action or the success of such an operation.
An inappropriate measurement strategy can contribute to the overall uncertainty of the measurement result more than the measurement procedure itself.
ISO 16000 (all parts) specifies general requirements for the measurement of indoor air pollutants and required conditions to be observed before or during sampling of individual pollutants or groups of pollutants, as well as when sampling the measurement procedures themselves.
Indoor air sampling of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), also known as polychlorinated oxantrenes (PCDDs), and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) is described in ISO 16000-13, while the relevant extraction, cleaning and analysis is high resolution gas chromatography/mass spectrometry is specified in ISO 16000-14. ISO 12884 can be used for sampling and analysis of PAHs.
The main sources of PCDDs/PCDFs in indoor air are impurities in wood preservatives containing pentachlorophenol (PCP) and emissions from fires containing chlorinated products. PCBs diffuse into indoor air mainly from concrete sealers, certain paints or electrical capacitors; Their use for these applications has been banned in many countries in recent years. Emissions from nearby landfills and abandoned industrial sites can also contribute to PCBs and PCDDs/PCDFs indoors. The main source of indoor PAHs comes from combustion processes (mostly tobacco smoke and smoke from open fires).
