VDI 2268 Blatt 1:1987-04 (R2018)

In this guideline the determination of the elements barium, beryllium, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, copper, nickel, lead, strontium, vanadium, and zinc in particulate emissions, for instance from waste incinerators, firing equipment, smelting-works, metal-processing industries, and cement works is described. The method described here deals with particulate samples collected by a sampling procedure using a 'Filterkopfgerät'. This method is described in guideline VDI 2066 part 2. It is used for determining gravimetrically the concentration of particulate matter in gaseous emissions.
