Office of Research and Development; Ambient Air Monitoring
Reference and Equivalent Methods: Designation of Three New Reference
Methods and Four New Equivalent Methods
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Notice of the designation of three new reference methods and
four new equivalent methods for monitoring ambient air quality.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) has designated, in accordance with 40 CFR Part 53, three
new reference methods and four new equivalent methods. The reference
methods include one for measuring carbon monoxide (CO) in ambient air
(Ecotech Serinus 30 Carbon Monoxide Analyzer) and two for measuring
PM10-2.5 in the ambient air (a Thermo Scientific
Partisol[supreg] Model 2000 sampler pair and a Partisol[supreg]-Plus
Model 2025 Sequential sampler pair). The four new equivalent methods
are two for measuring PM2.5 and two for measuring
PM10-2.5 in the ambient air (Thermo Scientific
Partisol[supreg] Model 2000-D, and Dichotomous Partisol[supreg]-Plus
Model 2025-D Sequential, air samplers).
