Monitoring Methods

The European standard method for measuring VOC as carbon is "Stationary Source Emission Determination of the Mass Concentration of Total Gaseous Organic Carbon at High Concentration (20 to 500mg/m3 VOC) in Flue Gas Continuous Flame Ionisation Method CEN 13526.

The European Standard Method "Determination of the Mass Concentration of Individual Gaseous Organic Compounds" CEN 13649 is the best means of determining the mass emission of individual VOCs.
