The performance of methods and instruments for measuring the elemental composition of aerosols is evaluated against distributed reference standards.
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
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
