Historical Standard: ASTM E884-82(2001) Standard Practice for Sampling Airborne Microorganisms at Municipal Solid-Waste Processing Facilities
SUPERSEDED (see Active link, below)
ASTM E884
1. Scope
1.1 This practice covers sampling of airborne microorganisms at municipal solid-waste processing facilities, hereafter referred to as facilities. Investigators should consult Practice D1357 for the general principles of conducting an air-sampling program.
1.2 This practice applies only to sampling airborne bacteria and fungi, not viruses. Since sampling airborne viruses is significantly more difficult than sampling bacteria and fungi, reliable methods of sampling viruses are not yet available.
