Sample measurements are evenly to distribute, to avoid distortion of the results throughout the year. The uncertainty in sampling measurements can be determined using the procedure in the ISO standard "Air quality - determination of the uncertainty of the time average of air quality measurements" (ISO 11222:2002) is set out. Random measurements used to assess the requirements with regard to compliance with the emission limit value for particulate matter PM10, the 90.4 percentile value (which may exceed 50 micrograms per cubic meter at most) should be evaluated instead of the number of exceedances, influenced greatly by the data acquisition.
(2) over the year distributed, so that the different climatic and transport-dependent conditions be taken into account.
(3) a day measurement (sampling) per week throughout the year, evenly distributed over the days of the week, or eight fully sampled weeks evenly distributed over the year.
(4) a sample per week, evenly distributed over the year, or eight weeks evenly distributed over the year.
The uncertainty of the measurement methods (with a confidence interval of 95%) will be judged using the following criteria: 1. consistent with the principles of the CEN Guide to the uncertainty of measurement (ENV 13005:1999 June 1999), 2. accordance with the ISO 5725:1994 (DIN ISO part 1 of November 1997)-procedures and DIN spec 1168, air quality - approach to the estimation of measuring security in reference procedures for outdoor air measurements by July 2010.
The percentages indicated in the above table for the uncertainty apply for individual measurements, averaged over the period in question based on the immission limit (when ozone based on the target value) with a confidence interval of 95 percent. The uncertainty for the fixed measurement applies to the area of the respective Immissions limit (for ozone of the target value).
The uncertainty of modelling is defined as the maximum deviation of the measured and calculated concentration levels for 90 percent of the individual measuring stations in the respective period in relation to the limit value (or, for ozone the target value) without taking into account the timing of the deviations. The uncertainty of modelling applies to the area of the respective Immissions limit (for ozone of the target value). The fixed measurements that select are for comparison with the results of the model calculations, must be representative of the spatial resolution captured by the model.
The uncertainty of objective estimates is defined as the maximum deviation of the measured and calculated values in a specific time period based on the immission limit (ozone based on the target value) without taking into account the timing of the deviations.
The requirements for minimum data capture and the coverage does not cover data loss due to the regular calibration or the normal maintenance of measuring instruments.
B. results of the assessment of air quality are the following information to compile for zones or agglomerations, where instead of measurements other data sources be used as supplementary information to measurement or as the sole means of air quality assessment: 1 description of the assessment made, 2. specific methods with references to descriptions of the method, 3. sources of data and information, 4.

Annex 3 (to paragraphs 2, 3, 13, 14 and 21) assessment of air quality and location of sampling points for the measurement of sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide and nitrogen oxides, particles (PM10 and PM2, 5), lead, benzene and carbon monoxide in the air (site: BGBl. I 2010, 1081 - 1082) A. General information is the air quality in all areas and metropolitan areas judged using the following criteria: 1. If the air quality in all places , with the exception of the places referred to in paragraph 2, according to the criteria assessed, which are laid down in sections B and C for the location of sampling points for fixed measurement. The principles laid down in sections B and C are also in so far as they are for the determination of the specific locations of concern, where the values of the relevant pollutants are determined when the air quality is assessed by indicative measurement or modelling.
2. compliance with the emission limit values laid down for the protection of human health is at the following locations not assessed: a) at locations within sections, to which the public does not have access and where there is no permanent living accommodations;
(b) in accordance with section 1 number 20 on the grounds of work places, all relevant provisions concerning health and safety at work apply;
(c) on the roadways of the streets and, if pedestrians and pedestrians there usually do not have access, on the medians of the streets.
B. large-scale siting of sampling points 1 protection of human health a) the location of sampling points where measurements for the protection of human health are taken, is to be selected so that the following data be obtained: - data on areas within the highest values occur of zones and agglomerations in which, the population to be probably directly or exposed indirectly through a period which , which is significant when compared to the averaging period of the relevant Immissions limit values;
-Data to values in other areas within zones and agglomerations which are representative of the exposure of the population in General.
(b) the location of sampling points is usually enough to avoid the measurement of environmental conditions that affect a very small room in their immediate vicinity. This means that the location of the sampling is to choose, that the air samples are representative - as far as possible - for the air quality of a road section of not less than 100 metres in length at sampling points for the traffic and not less than 250 x 250 meters at sampling points for industrial areas.
(c) measuring stations must be located for the urban background, that the appropriate pollution covers the integrated contribution from all sources in the luv the main wind direction of the station. Not a single source should be predominant for the appropriate pollution, unless this is typical for a larger urban area. The sampling must be representative of an area of several square kilometers.
(d) to evaluate the values for the rural background, the sampling point must not be close, that is closer than 5 kilometres, this urban agglomerations or industrial areas affected be.
e) to assess the contribution of industrial sources, shall be at least one sampling point in the Lee of the main wind direction from the source in the nearest residential area. The background is not known, an additional sampling point the upwind main wind direction is set up.
(f) sampling points should be representative of similar locations if possible, not located in its immediate vicinity.
(g) If this is necessary for reasons of health protection, sampling points on islands are set up.
2. protection of vegetation and natural ecosystems the sampling points where measurements for the protection of vegetation and natural ecosystems carried out industrial installations or motorways or main roads with a daily traffic volume of more than 50 000 will be located should more than 20 km from agglomerations or more than 5 kilometres from other built-up areas, vehicles. This means that the location of the sampling is to choose, that the air samples for the air quality of a surface of at least 1 000 km2 are representative. The competent authorities may provide due to the geographical conditions, or in the interest of protecting vulnerable areas that a sampling point at a lesser distance is important or representative of air quality in a smaller area.
It is to consider that the air quality on islands must be assessed.
C. spatially variable siting of sampling points where possible is to take into account the following: flow of air to the sampler inlet must not be impaired in a radius of at least 270 ° and there no obstacles may be affecting the airflow in the vicinity of the sampling, this means building, balconies, trees and other obstacles should be some meters away and the sampling points for air quality at the building line must be at least 0.5 metres away from the nearest building.
In general the inlets must be located at a height between 1.5 m (the breathing zone) and 4 m above the ground. A higher location of intake (up to 8 meters) may be appropriate under certain circumstances. A higher intake can be also displayed if the measurement station for a larger area is representative.
Inlets may be applied not in the immediate vicinity of emission sources to avoid the immediate introduction of emissions that are not mixed with the ambient air.
The exhaust air duct of the sampling point is so that recirculation of exhaust air to the sampler inlet is avoided.
For all pollutants, traffic-related sampling points must be at least 25 metres from the edge of the busy road junctions and no more than 10 meters from the edge of the road.
The following factors may also be taken into account: - sources of interference, - security, - accessibility, - power supply and telephone lines, - visibility of the site in the area, - safety of public and operators, - benefits of a merger of the sampling points for different pollutants, - requirements of the urban land use planning.
D. documentation and review of site selection the site-selection procedures are fully to document, for example, with photographs of the environment in the cardinal directions and a detailed map in the classification phase. The choice of location is reviewed regularly and each document so that it is ensured that the criteria for the choice continue to have validity.
