HAZARDOUS AIR POLLUTANTS
19 April, 2010 - Auckland
This workshop will mainly focus on measurement methods and setting up monitoring programs for hazardous air pollutants that are relevant for NZ air quality practitioners. It will include pollutants such as metals (including arsenic), ions, volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds (including benzene, benzo(a)pyrene, aldehydes etc.), pesticides, herbicides, PCBs and dioxin/furans. There will be some discussion on methods that could be used to identify woodsmoke in urban atmospheres (including real time methods for specific ions). For further details, click here.
