PM10 Sampling Procedures
For PM10 sampling, follow the steps below:

• Ensure that the PM10 impactor (silver) is installed in the preseparator assembly. The multiple impactor adaptor is not needed, nor is the PM2.5 impactor (gold).

• Clean and lubricate the EMT (Easy Maintenance Target) every 5 sampling periods. The EMT may need to be cleaned more or less frequently depending on the degree of soiling.

• After the sampler has been assembled, calibrated, verified to be in proper working order, and a filter loaded in the filter holder assembly, set flow rate adjustment in accordance with procedures as shown in the Operation Manual.

• Follow all other procedures in the Operation Manual, noting that PM10 is being sampled.
