Definition
Article 1.In this notification, the definition of terms listed in the following items shall be as specified in each item concerned :
- Liquid absorption sampling method: This method is such that an amount of sample air is passed through or contact with the surface of a liquid absorbent, and by that process substances to be measured are gathered into the liquid by solution, reaction or other mechanisms with the liquid.
- Solid adsorption sampling method : This method is such that an amount of sample air is sucked through a layer of solid sorbents and substances to be measured are caught by those solid particles by adsorption etc.
- Direct sampling method : This method is such that an amount of sample air is directly collected into a collecting vessels such as bag or bottle without using such methods as dissolution, reaction, adsorption, etc.
- Cooling condensation sampling method : This method is such that an amount of sample air is condensed by being brought to contact with the surface of a cooled pipe, etc., and substances to be measured are gathered by condensation.
- Filtration sampling method : This method is such that an amount of sample air is sucked through a fitter (limited to such a filter capable of collecting more than 95% of particles of 0.3 micron) and substances to be measured are gathered by filtration.
