Sampling Objective (e.g. Why you are sampling and what you hope to learn)
Testing the air quality in the school cafeteria. The levels of CO2, NO2, and O3 in the cafeteria are expected to increase gradually as the student population increases. The concentrations are expected to level off and then decline at the end of the lunch period.
What parameters are you sampling for? (e.g. N02, CO, C02)
CO2, NO2, O3
Describe the Method of Data Collection - (Include the frequency, duration and location of monitoring.)
We will sample data for thirty five minutes with the monitor placed in the center of the cafeteria.
Explain how you will establish background levels of sampling parameters.
