Sampling Objective (e.g. Why you are sampling and what you hope to learn)
What do catalytic converters do? By sampling air outside to set background levels, and then sampling exhaust from cars with and without catalytic converters, we will find out. Ambient outside air will be sampled for 10 minutes between each car sample.
What parameters are you sampling for? (e.g. N02, CO, C02)
All parameters
Describe the Method of Data Collection - (Include the frequency, duration and location of monitoring.)
10-15 minute invervals for all 4 samples.
Explain how you will establish background levels of sampling parameters.
Ambient air will be sampled to provide background levels before each car sample.
