 Stack Sampling Results Report
the results in concentration shall be expressed
in the same oxygen content of the emission
limit
To correct the oxygen is necessary to apply
this expression:

21  y
C ( y %O2 )   Ca
21   x%O2  a
Where: y is the oxygen in the flue gas
◦ x is the oxigen of the emission limit

 Stack Sampling Results Report
Example: To correct a concentration obtained in a
sampling (135 mg/Nm3 to 9% O2) for the content of
7% oxygen will be:

21  7
C (7%O2 )  135
21  9

C (7%O2 )  157,5

the results in concentration shall be
expressed in the same unit to the emission
limit
Example: the average readings of
continuous monitor of CO was 100 ppm,
but emission limit is mg/Nm3
