Dindal (Battelle), A. Test/QA Plan (TQAP) for Verification of Semi-Continuous Ambient Air Monitoring Systems. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, DC, EPA/600/R-08/150, 2008.
Impact/Purpose:
To monitor contaminants in air, water, and soil.
Description:
The purpose of the semi-continuous ambient air monitoring technology (or MARGA) test and quality assurance plan is to specify procedures for a verification test applicable to commercial semi-continuous ambient air monitoring technologies. The purpose of the verification test is to evaluate the performance of participating technologies in both field and laboratory environments. In performing the verification test, the Advanced Monitoring Systems (AMS) Center established in the Battelle Memorial Institute under an EPA cooperative agreement, will follow technical quality assurance and control procedures. These procedures are specified in the MARGA test and quality assurance plan. Battelle will also comply with the data quality requirements in the AMS Center quality management plan.
