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
Provision of two detailed measurement guidelines for NFs. One for the observational platforms, one for the exploratory platforms that will be developed for current and updated for future needs.
Training and capacity-building (possibility to tailor the training depending on the interests of the participants, e.g. usage of high-resolution-DMA calibration setup, operation of PSM or NAIS, sampling of sub-10nm particles)
This service is to calibrate nano-mobility particle size spectrometers, ion spectrometers or nano-CPCs in the size range of ca. 1-10 nm in mobility diameter
