This European Standard specifies the procedure to sample continuously and analyse the concentration of airborne pollen grains and fungal spores in ambient air using the volumetric Hirst type sampler [1] [2] [3] (see AnnexA). This European Standard describes both the sampling and the analysis procedures for the purpose of allergy networks. For the other tasks mentioned in the introduction, other specifications may be required.
