TS EN ISO 13138 Air Quality - Sampling Procedures from Airborne Particles Accumulating in the Human Respiratory System

The BS EN 13138 standard has been developed by the British Standards Institute (BSI) to explain the methods of sampling from airborne particles that accumulate in the human respiratory system in order to determine the quality of inhaled air.

TS EN ISO 13138 Air Quality - Sampling Procedures from Airborne Particles Accumulating in the Human Respiratory System

This standard has been published in our country by the Turkish Standards Institute (TSE) with the following title: TS EN ISO 13138 Air quality - Methods of sampling from airborne particles accumulated in the human respiratory system. This standard was later published by the International Standards Organization (ISO).

This international standard describes a method for identifying suitable samplers for determining the accumulation of non-volatile, moisture-absorbing and lint-free aerosols in certain areas of the respiratory tract.

Particulate matter is very small particles of solid or liquid emitted into the air. The concept of particle in the working environment refers to dust, mist or smoke particles suspended in the surrounding air. The danger associated with airborne particles is the state of breathing that can chemically have a bad effect on a person's health.

Inhalation is the most important form of exposure in working environments. When the particles are suspended in the air, they enter the human body via the respiratory tract. How far the particles travel through the air ducts of the respiratory system and what effects it will have when it accumulates depends on the size, shape and density of the particles. It also depends on the chemical and toxic properties of the particles.

In general, particles with an aerodynamic diameter greater than 10 millimicron accumulate in the nose, nasal cavity and throat. Changes in the airflow direction cause particles to hit and adhere to the walls of this area.

Within the scope of breathing apparatus compatibility tests carried out by our organization EUROLAB, testing services in accordance with TS EN ISO 13138 standard are also provided.
