This document specifies methods for determining the amount of sulfur compounds volatilized from vulcanized rubber under heating conditions using gas chromatograph (GC) or ion chromatograph (IC). The methods apply to the sulfur compounds which are hydrogen sulfide (H2S), carbonyl sulfide (COS), carbon disulfide (CS2) and sulfur dioxide (SO2). The methods cannot be used above the thermal decomposition temperature of the rubber. Note The methods determine the amount of sulfur compounds that volatilize from the vulcanized rubber under heating conditions, and do not determine the total amount of sulfur compounds that can volatilize from the vulcanized rubber.

This document applies to the use of the grass Lolium multiflorum ssp. italicum designated hereafter as Italian ryegrass for the bioaccumulation of substances liable to cause atmospheric pollution. It is an active biomonitoring approach insofar as the plants used are first cultivated in set conditions before being exposed at the monitoring locations in the field. The plants then record any pollution events that occur while they are being exposed, allowing such events to be accurately dated. The method described in this document can be applied for identification and localization of one or more single pollution sources and the tracking of their “plume” on a local or regional scale. It also offers a tool to monitor sites in the long term by the repeated application of a clearly defined procedure and to describe the local or regional air pollution situation. The method applies to solid and gaseous substances deposited on plants, where they may accumulate on their surface or in their tissues. These substances include sulphur, chloride, fluoride and especially metals as well as low volatile organic and halo-organic compounds such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE), polychlorinated dibenzo dioxins (PCDD) and polychlorinated dibenzo furans (PCDF). It is as well possible to verify pesticides which are used in plant protection products. The range of potential substances may be expanded according to the task at hand and the capabilities of conducting trace analyses and assessment. The method described in this document allows spatial and temporal comparisons and allows for screening, thus providing a first indication of risk. The results of grass culture studies can suggest risks to biota (e.g. via the food chain) which require further investigation. The method described in this document does not replace physico-chemical methods of direct measurement or modelling of air pollutants and cannot be replaced by them for its part; it complements them by indicating biological effects. Potential areas of deployment are: - Permit procedures related to air pollution legislation; - Preservation of evidence related to the code for protection from pollution; - Monitoring of emission sources and performance control; - Assessment of local-scale emission transport; - Evidence of causation, e.g. related to environmental liability; - Air quality maintenance plans/strategies; - Long-term monitoring of ecological effects of atmospheric depositions; - Detection and assessment of local, regional, and countrywide effects of atmospheric depositions; - Assessment of risks for humans and/or animals via the food chain. This document is of interest to those involved in environmental monitoring.

This document gives guidance on procedures for the pro-rata multi-habitat sampling of benthic macroinvertebrates in rivers and streams. The term “pro-rata” reflects the intention to sample all the main riverine habitats present at a monitoring site according to the proportion of the site that it covers. It is an objective way to divide sampling effort among the different habitats. This guidance is applicable to all flowing waters, both artificial, modified and natural. This design enables comparable samples to be collected from any type of river, regardless of the habitats present. The pro-rata multi-habitat sampling is an overall approach rather than a specific method. This document is designed to: - support environmental and conservation agencies to meet the monitoring requirements of the WFD (Article 8, Annex II, and Annex V); - generate data sets appropriate for monitoring and reporting of sites designated under the Habitats Directive and the Birds Directive ensure that samples for comparing the overall composition of invertebrates from different stream types are comparable; - ensure samples for environmental quality assessments across different stream types are comparable even when sampled by different people; and - support river management and restoration initiatives. The pro-rata multi-habitat sample (MHS) provides: - a consistent way of sampling sites that is not dependent on the presence of particular types of habitat; and - guidance on a user-friendly strategy for collecting biological data depending on the distribution of substrate type. It is also ideal for: - understanding the distribution of biological community types across different physical river types; and - quality assessments based on deviation from reference, as adopted in the European Water Framework Directive.

This document specifies the characteristics, performance requirements and test methods for portable fire extinguishers. Reference to the suitability of an extinguisher for use on gaseous fires (Class C fires) are at the manufacturer’s discretion but are applied only to powder type extinguishers which have gained a Class B or Class A and Class B rating. Suitability of extinguishers for use on Class D fires (fires involving flammable metals) is outside the scope of this document in respect of test fires. However, extinguishers claiming Class D suitability are covered in all other respects by the requirements in this document for powder extinguishers. It is considered hazardous for powder and carbon dioxide fire extinguishers to be used on Class F fires. For this reason, powder and carbon dioxide fire extinguishers are excluded for conformance with regard to Class F in this document. NOTE The extinction of a metal fire presents a situation so specific (in terms of the metal itself, its form, the configuration of the fire etc.) that it is not possible to define a representative standard fire for the purposes of testing. The efficiency of extinguishers on Class D fires is established on a case by case basis.
