Air quality monitoring network: Measurement method with laboratory analysis (LUQS)

The air quality monitoring network detects and investigates the concentrations of various pollutants in the air (immissions). If defined limit values/alarm thresholds are exceeded, measures are taken to reduce pollutant loads. Reference measurement methods are laid down in the EU directives. These are partly automated measuring methods, but in some cases also methods with laboratory analysis. In the laboratory analysis procedures, the measurement results are usually available about 6 weeks after the end of one measuring month. The distribution of measurement points is nationwide, nationwide, according to 39. BImSchV or EU Air Quality Directives on stress priorities (transport, industry) and urban and rural backgrounds. Components: Aromatic hydrocarbons (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene), particulate matter (PM10,PM2.5), metals in PM10, PAH in PM10, NO2 (passive collector), soot (EC/OC)
