Carbon dioxide
Analysis:
Carbone, dioxyde de
Method: IRSST - 34-C
Sampling protocol
Sampling device:
Parameters:
Flow rate: -
TWA sampling volume: -
STEL sampling volume: -
Remarks:
Refer to the user's guide accompanying the instrument.
Analytical protocol
Principle:
Direct reading instrument-Infrared detection (DRI-IR)
Remarks:
Carbon dioxide is quantified in the field with a direct-reading instrument (DRI). The minimum reported value is 18 mg/m³ (10 ppm). The reference method corresponds to calibration of the DRI.
