Nitrogen Dioxide Diffusion Tube Analysis Report
The samples have been analysed in accordance with SOCOTEC’s standard operating procedure ANU/SOP/1015.
This method meets the guidelines set out in DEFRA’s ‘Diffusion Tubes for Ambient NO2 Monitoring: Practical
Guidance.’
The tubes were prepared by spiking acetone:triethanolamine (50:50) onto the grids prior to the tubes being
assembled. The tubes were desorbed with distilled water and the extract analysed using a segmented flow auto
analyser with ultraviolet detection. All samples were received in good condition, unless otherwise stated in the
comments field of results table. Please note:
(i) As set out in the practical guidance, the results were initially calculated assuming an ambient temperature of
11oC, the reported values
have been adjusted to 20oC to allow for direct comparison with EU limits.
(ii) The reported results have not been bias adjusted.
This analysis of diffusion tube samples to determine the amount of nitrogen dioxide present on the tube is within
the scope of our UKAS schedule. Any further calculations and assessments requiring exposure details and
conditions fall outside the scope of our accreditation. In the AIR PT intercomparison scheme for comparing spiked
Nitrogen Dioxide diffusion tubes, SOCOTEC currently holds the highest rank of a
Satisfactory laboratory.
This report shall not be reproduced except in full without approval of the laboratory.
