3. Indoor air pollutant metrology
The measurement methods used during the OQAI's measurement campaigns for the various pollutants are essentially passive or active measurement methods, involving sampling with cartridges dedicated to the various families of compounds, followed by desorption and analysis in the laboratory, most often by gas or liquid chromatography. . There are two reference methods for measuring formaldehyde: active sampling (NF ISO 16000-3) and passive sampling (NF ISO 16000-4). Sampling...
