• Gravimetric analysis pre- and post- exposure for PM2.5 by 40 CFR, Part 50 Appendix L for one hundred and fifty to five hundred (150-500) filters per year. • Laboratory will provide appropriate vessels for individual filters to be shipped within (currently KCDAQM receives the filter pre-loaded in the cassette ring shipped inside of an antistatic bag. We return ship the filters the same way, in the same antistatic bag. The bag is labeled with the filter number, cassette number and use by date for each filter). • Laboratory to include shipping for containers, chilling agents, and packing material and pay all shipping costs. • Laboratory will provide sample archive for no less than one (1) year. • Laboratory will provide analytical results, electronic • Laboratory will provide data management including integration of collection data, validation, enhanced reporting options, notifications of elevated concentrations, results in AQS format. • Electronic submittal of analytical results shall be provided to KCDAQM at least monthly. • KCDAQM to provide a data file from the PM 2.5 samplers to the laboratory. The laboratory then will generate a report in a format that can be uploaded to the AQS database and send it to KCDAQM. • KCDAQM will submit data to AQS (Air Quality System). • KCDAQM to provide sample filters and cassette rings.
