Stack sampler (APM 620): Parameters
monitored are
a. Pollutants
b. Velocity (Isokinetic)
c. Temperature
d. Pressure
The recommended criteria for siting the
monitoring stations
Type B Downtown neighbor hood exposure stations- In central business districts but
not congested areas, less high rise buildings, average vehicles < 500 vehicles per
day. Typical locations like parks, malls, landscapes areas etc.
Location of station- 0.5 m from curve; height 2.5 to 3.5 m from the ground.
Type C Residential population exposure station In the midst of the residential areas or
sub-urban areas but not in central business districts. The station should be more
than 100 m away from any street.
Location of station- 0.5 m from curve; height 2.5 to 3.5 m from the ground.
Type F Specialized source survey stations to determine the impact on air quality at
specified location by an air pollution source under scrutiny.
Location of station- 0.5 m from curve; height 2.5 to 3.5 m from the ground.

Isokinetic conditions
Isokinetic conditions exist when the velocity in the
stack Vs equals the velocity at the top of the probe
nozzle Vn at the sample point (Figure 4).
