Implementación de un sistema de recolección y medición de partículas de polvos sedimentables en el laboratorio ambiental de la corporación autónoma regional de La Guajira - (CORPOGUAJIRA).

Abstract

A Settling System for Sedimentable Dust Particles was implemented according to Colombian Technical Standard NTC 3662, for which a protocol was created based on the guidelines of the Quality Management System of Corpoguajira. The equipment was built according to the dimensions according to the aforementioned standard, modeling the equipment with the help of SolidWorks software, which was considered as a guide to be able to assemble the equipment with greater ease. For greater credibility in the results, the test was verified according to the procedure for the validation of the methods of the Environmental Laboratory of Corpoguajira, taking into account the company that manages the two standardized methods, affected in a flexible and total suspended manner; Subsequently, a comparison was made with Standard NTC 3662, which tells us how to calculate the total insoluble and soluble material. Through the determination of uncertainty and statistical calculations, the methods suitable for the analysis of sedimentable particle dust in the Environmental Laboratory of Corpoguajira are specified are the tests modified in the book Standardized Methods for the analysis of water and wastewater. The monitoring process was carried out in conjunction with the Cerrejón air quality monitoring system at its Barrancas, Campo Alegre, Provincial and Papayal stations. Cerrejón, has been implementing this trial since 2006. Performing the calculations of the deposition rate, resulting in four of the three monitoring stalls, exceeding the limit allowed by the World Health Organization.
