Calibration of the instruments according to ACTRIS and TC recommendations

QA/QC according to ACTRIS recommendations and operation guidelines.

Development and evaluation of new methodologies in the field of analysis of the elemental composition of aerosols. Service open to external users (including private enterprises).

Consultancy and knowledge transfer via higher education institutions, website and discussion forums.

Operators and scientists are trained through courses, workshops and hands-on training sessions. The training enables the operators and scientists to be introduced into the measurement guidelines/SOPs, QA/QC criteria and control, and troubleshooting. Participants are trained in sample preparation, sample analysis and quantification with different instruments. Participants can bring their own samples.

Provision of up-to-date guidelines for measuring the elemental composition of aerosols.

The performance of NFs measuring elemental composition of particulate matter samples is evaluated based on: QA/QC outputs, participation in inter-laboratory comparisons, calibration and training workshops, and effective data reporting to ACTRIS DC. Service available to external users
