Sampling and Analysis Plan for the Collection of Ambient Air Samples at Receptor Locations from Open Pit Burning Operations in the Deployed Environment

Abstract

Open pit burning is a common practice to dispose of solid waste at deployed locations. Pits are ideally located down wind of inhabited areas; however, changes in wind direction may cause personnel exposure to the smoke. This guide provides a general sampling strategy to address these exposures based on possible contaminants of concern. Included are specific ambient air sampling protocols, analysis methodologies, laboratory contacts and sample shipment requirements.
