Sets out an isokinetic manual gravimetric method for the determination of particulate matter emitted from stationary sources such as stacks, ducts or other similar outlets. The method provides a measure of both the concentration and mass flow rate of particulate matter passing through a stack or duct over the sampling period employed.
