This filter must be changed weekly (or at least often as specified in the manufacturer's operation/instruction manual), and the sample inlet system used with the analyzer must be kept clean, to avoid loss of O3 in the O3 sample air prior to the concentration measurement. Environ., 34 (12-14), 1921-1957(2000). Potential loss of O3 in the inlet air filter and in the air sample handling components of the analyzer and associated exterior air sampling components due to buildup of airborne particulate matter is minimized by filter replacement and cleaning of the other inlet components.

It is a basic quality management process to establish a set of quality objectives. 4.5.5.2 Allow the O3 analyzer to sample zero air until a stable response is obtained and then adjust the O3 analyzer's zero control. It is the operator's responsibility to verify that all of the information required for equation 4 is obtained, either automatically by the photometer or manually.

More rigorous quality assurance over the work of the Internal Auditors. A mixing chamber between the O3 generator and the output manifold is also required. 4.5.3.10 Calculate the O3 concentration from equation 4. 2.2 The measurement system is calibrated by referencing the instrumental chemiluminescence measurements to certified O3 standard concentrations generated in a dynamic flow system and assayed by photometry to be traceable to a National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) standard reference photometer for O3 (see Section 4, Calibration Procedure, below). Verify that the photometer manufacturer has adequately established that the linearity error of the photometer is less than 3%, or test the linearity by dilution as follows: Generate and assay an O3 concentration near the upper range limit of the system or appropriate calibration scale for the instrument, then accurately dilute that concentration with zero air and re-assay it. Each O3 concentration generated by dilution is calculated from: Additional information on calibration and pollutant standards is provided in Section 12 of Reference 14. 4.3.1 UV photometer.

Coxom, “Kinetic Studies of Oxy-halogen Radical Systems”, Proc. 4.5.3.5 With zero air flowing in the output manifold, actuate the two-way valve to allow the photometer to sample first the manifold zero air, then Fz. A complete UV calibration system consists of an O3 generator, an output port or manifold, a photometer, an appropriate source of zero air, and other components as necessary. /XIPLAYER_CM3 11 0 R 2.5 Sampling considerations.

Additional information on verifying linearity is contained in Reference 13. M. A. A number of advantages are realized by locating the calibration photometer in a clean laboratory where it can be stationary, protected from the physical shock of transportation, operated by a responsible analyst, and used as a common standard for all field calibrations via transfer standards. The dynamic calibration system may be modified as shown in Figure 3 to allow for dilution air to be metered in downstream of the O3 generator. 4.5.3.4 Ensure that the flow rate of zero air, Fz, is at least 1 liter/min greater than the flow rate required by the photometer. A stable O3 generator is used to produce O3 concentrations over the required calibration concentration range. • Preparing a report (see appendix F) of the results of the self-assessment to be A manual or automatic two-way valve, or other means is used to switch the photometer flow between zero air and the O3 concentration. 18.1 Data Review and Verification 13.

As the performance and stability record of the photometer is established, the frequency of these steps may be reduced to be consistent with the documented stability of the photometer and the guidance provided in Reference 12. >> The frequency of calibration, as well as the number of points necessary to establish the calibration curve and the frequency of other performance checking will vary by analyzer; however, the minimum frequency, acceptance criteria, and subsequent actions are specified in Reference 3, Appendix D: Measurement Quality Objectives and Validation Template for SO 2 (page 9 of 30).
