Indoor Air Sampling Technical Guidelines

1. Scope

This guideline provides guidance on selecting sampling points, setting sampling height, determining sampling time and frequency, choosing appropriate sampling methods, and implementing quality assurance measures. It serves as a reference for air sampling procedures under the "Indoor Air Quality Standard" and applies to all specified pollutants.

2. Sampling Point Selection

2.1 The number of sampling points depends on the size of the room and site conditions. Rooms under 50 m² should have 1–3 points; 50–100 m² should have 3–5 points; and rooms over 100 m² should have at least 5 points, distributed diagonally or evenly.

2.2 Sampling points should avoid vents and be at least 0.5 meters away from walls.

2.3 Sampling height should be between 0.5 m and 1.5 m, consistent with the human breathing zone.

3. Sampling Time and Frequency

Doors and windows must be closed for at least 4 hours before sampling. For average daily concentrations, continuous sampling for 18 hours is required. For 8-hour averages, 6 hours of sampling is needed, and for 1-hour averages, 45 minutes of sampling is sufficient.

4. Sampling Methods and Equipment

Choose appropriate sampling methods and instruments based on the type of contaminant. The noise level of the sampler should not exceed 50 dB. Specific methods should follow the procedures outlined in each pollutant's testing protocol.

5. Quality Assurance Measures

5.1 Ensure the sampling system is airtight before use to prevent gas leakage.

5.2 Calibrate the flow rate using a soap film meter before and after sampling, ensuring an error margin of no more than 5%.

5.3 Conduct blank tests by leaving two sampling tubes unexposed during a batch of sampling. If the results exceed the control range, the entire batch is invalid.

5.4 Inspect and calibrate instruments according to manufacturer instructions before use.

5.5 Convert sample volume to standard conditions using the equation: V₀ = V × (T₀/P₀) × (P/T), where T₀ = 273 K, P₀ = 101.3 kPa.

5.6 Parallel samples should not differ by more than 20% from the average value.

6. Records and Reports

Keep detailed records of site conditions, pollution sources, date, time, location, atmospheric pressure, temperature, humidity, wind speed, and the sampler’s signature. Submit these along with the samples to the laboratory for analysis.
