Until this standard is formally adopted, US EPA Method 29, VDI 3868
Bl.1 and VDI 2268 may be used. Particles should be measured according to US EPA Method 29
(plan filter), Gaseous metals should be measured according to VDI 3868 Bl. 1, and
digestion of filter and analyses should be carried out according to VDI 2268. |
