Committee EV-007, Methods for Examination of Air, to supersede AS 3580.4.1—1990,

Methods for sampling and analysis of ambient air, Method 4.1: Determination of sulfur
dioxide—Direct reading instrumental method.
After consultation with stakeholders in both countries, Standards Australia and Standards
New Zealand decided to develop this Standard as an Australian Standard rather than an
Australian/New Zealand Standard.
The requirements for instruments found to be suitable for using this method are given in the
United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) Title 40, Part 53 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (40 CFR Part 53)—Ambient air monitoring reference and equivalent
methods, Subpart B—Procedures for testing performance characteristics of automated
methods.

METHOD

1 SCOPE
This Standard sets out the method for the determination of sulfur dioxide in ambient air
using a direct-reading instrumental method. This method applies to the determination of
sulfur dioxide in ambient air where the concentration lies within the range 0 to 5 p.p.m. by
volume (approximately 0 to 14 000 μg/m3).
