This document specifies a test method for the sampling and analysis of airborne organic isocyanate (NCO) compounds in workplace air. The method covers organic compounds containing free isocyanate functional groups, including monomeric, oligomeric, prepolymeric and polymeric isocyanates, and addresses the measurement of total isocyanate groups in air samples collected for the assessment of occupational exposure.
The method is suitable for personal air sampling in the breathing zone for the determination of time-weighted average concentrations over sampling periods ranging from approximately 10 min to 8 h, although it can be applied to shorter sampling periods with high isocyanate air levels. It can also be used for background or fixed-location air sampling; however, due to aerodynamic effects, samplers designed for personal sampling do not necessarily exhibit the same collection characteristics when used for other purposes. It covers the measurement of airborne organic isocyanates over a concentration range of approximately 0,1 μg/m3 to 140 μg/m3 for a nominal air sample volume of 15 l; under the conditions specified in this document, typical qualitative and quantitative detection limits correspond to approximately 0,07 μg/m3 a nd 0 ,3 μg/m3, respectively, for a 15 l air sample.
This document does not apply to the simultaneous determination of isocyanates and amines, nor to modified methods employing alternative sampling devices or detection techniques not described in this document.

This document defines and describes the methodology to calculate Modelling Quality Indicators (MQI) and determine fulfilment of the Modelling Quality Objectives (MQO). MQO are provided to help ensure that modelling-based assessments of air quality in the context of the ambient air quality directive [1] are objective and comparable, and of sufficient quality to obtain reliable information about concentrations of air pollutants in ambient air. The method uses measurement uncertainty and a level of stringency as a benchmark for the acceptable level of difference between modelled and measured values.
This document concerns the performance of an entire modelling system therefore the term “modelling quality objectives” is used rather than “model quality objectives”. This document concerns the use of modelling results for assessment as specified in [2]. Such modelling systems aim to capture both the spatial and temporal variability of the environmental indicator under assessment in the modelling domain. This document establishes a method to determine if the results of a modelling system fulfil the MQO and therefore reach an adequate data quality level within the modelling domain defined for assessment.
The procedures described in this document are limited in scope as they concern only statistical performance indicators. A full evaluation of a modelling system considers additional elements of quality assurance, but such procedures are outside the scope of this document.
This document only addresses modelling applications where measurements of pollutant concentrations are available that meet the data requirements for the validation defined in this document. This document specifies MQO that are applicable to all concentration ranges that may occur in ambient air. In the context of this document, MQI and MQO are specified for:
- daily and annual averaged concentrations of particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter less or equal to 2,5 µm (PM2.5);
- daily and annual averaged concentrations of particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter less or equal to 10 µm (PM10);
- hourly, daily and annual averaged concentrations of nitrogen dioxide (NO2);
- maximum daily 8-hour mean and seasonal averaged concentrations of ozone (O3);
- hourly, daily and annual averaged concentrations of sulphur dioxide (SO2);
- maximum daily 8-hour mean and daily averaged concentrations for carbon monoxide (CO);
- annual averaged concentrations for benzene (C6H6);
- annual averaged concentrations for lead (Pb);
- annual averaged concentrations for arsenic (As);
- annual averaged concentrations for cadmium (Cd);
- annual averaged concentrations for nickel (Ni);
- annual averaged concentrations for benzo[a]pyrene (BaP).
This document addresses competent authorities, research institutions, consultants, or other bodies responsible for the performance of air quality modelling when applied for assessment purposes.
NOTE Fulfilment of MQO is either normative or informative, depending on the quality of information used to determine the uncertainty parameters and stringency factors set out in this document.

This document specifies a sampling method to determine the quantity of formaldehyde (HCHO) in the air with the range of approximately 1 µg/m3 to 1 mg/m3 in a time-weighted average (TWA) sample, for long-term (1 h to 24 h) and short-term (5 min to 60 min) sampling. This method involves the collection of compounds from air on to adsorbent cartridges coated with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (DNPH) and subsequent analysis of the hydrazones formed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with detection by ultraviolet absorption [7] [8]. This document can also be applied for the determination of at least 12 other aromatic as well as saturated and unsaturated aliphatic carbonyl compounds (aldehydes and ketones), with modification, such as: — acetaldehyde; — acetone; — benzaldehyde; — butyraldehyde; — capronaldehyde; — 2,5-dimethylbenzaldehyde; — formaldehyde; — isovaleraldehyde; — propionaldehyde; — m-tolualdehyde; — o-tolualdehyde; — p-tolualdehyde; — valeraldehyde. This document does not apply to longer chained or unsaturated carbonyl compounds such as acrolein.

This document specifies a laboratory method for the determination of the carotenoid content in microalgae. This method is based on the principles of chlorophyll a determination described in EN 18034. This method has been validated for the microalgae species Nannochloropsis and Phaodactylum. This standard is only validated for betacarotene and fucoxanthin but could be used for other carotenoids as well. Given small adaptations to be able to measure smaller concentrations, this method could also be
used for macro algae.
NOTE this method has been validated in an interlaboratory study for the following carotenoids for levels of approximately 0.1 to 10 mg/g by weight:
• beta carotene;
• fucoxanthin.
For the validation, the following matrices were used:
• Nannochloropsis sp .;
• Phaedactylum.
For detailed information on the validation, see Clause 9 and Annex C. Additionally, lutein was tested and Saccharina latissima was used as an additional matrix. However, these results could not be validated. The results of these studies have been included in informative Annex D.

This document provides guidance for communicating the risks related to the beneficial use of biosolids produced from industrial and municipal sludge and municipal biosolids derived products (e.g. composts, growing medium) and for managing public perception related to their use. This document: defines key concepts related to risk and risk communication; provides context for risk in relation to the beneficial use of biosolids; describes public perceptions and responses to the beneficial use of biosolids at a global scale; outlines risk communication principles, methods, and tools; includes case studies and examples of communication strategies. This document can also be used to support the development of biosolids management plans, particularly in relation to community consultation, engagement, and communication activities. In addition, it can be applied, where appropriate, to risk communication associated with other beneficial uses of biosolids or similar materials. This document does not apply to communication regarding hazardous sludge originating from wastewater that, due to its physical, chemical, or infectious properties, can pose significant risks to human health or the environment during use, handling, storage, or transportation, and requires specialized disposal methods. The definition of “beneficial use of biosolids” is outside the scope of this document.
