Measurement method for determining concentrations in dust deposition
In Part 14 of VDI 2267 a complete and validated measurement method for determining the total contents of Al, As, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Na, Ni, Pb, V and Zn in the dust deposition is presented. Dust deposition within the meaning of this guideline denotes the dry residue of the atmospheric particulate matter input collected in a collecting vessel (so-called collecting pot) during the exposure period (period generally one month). The dry residue is digested in an oxidizing acid mixture. For this three fieldproven digestion variants (two open digestions, one closed microwave digestion) are described. The subsequent analysis of the digestion solution for the listed metals and metalloids is performed by Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP OES).

Sample digestion is a critical step in chemical analysis that often determines the success or failure of an investigation. It involves the targeted transformation and preparation of a sample to make the components of interest accessible for analysis. Various methods such as thermal, chemical or enzymatic digestion are used to dissolve matrix components, remove unwanted components and release target substances.
