Types of Quality Control : QC and QA
• Quality Control – control the quality by field and data processing
staff (responsible for daily operation of sampling network)
• Quality Assurance– control the quality by QA staff (not involved in
daily sampling work)
![Page 20: Air Quality Monitoring Network Management in Hong Kong Peter Louie and Chris Cheung Environmental Protection Department, Hong Kong SAR Government Better](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062714/56649d435503460f94a1fe94/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Quality Control (QC)
• Precision checks
- gases : biweekly one point check
- particulates : collocated sampling for Hi-vol samplers
- Control limits : 20% for gases
10% for particulates
![Page 21: Air Quality Monitoring Network Management in Hong Kong Peter Louie and Chris Cheung Environmental Protection Department, Hong Kong SAR Government Better](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062714/56649d435503460f94a1fe94/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Quality Assurance (QA)
• Accuracy - Performance Audit by QA staff
• Traceability
• System Audit
• Inter-laboratory Comparison

System Audit• Documentation & labeling • Data processing• Vertical audit• Training - check the competence &
annual reassessment records - observe operation at site
• Safety • Site environment

Conclusions• EPD’s Air Quality Monitoring Network is
managed by using a combination of quality assurance system and out-sourcing arrangement
• Better understanding of air pollution issues
• Cost-effective policies and solutions can be developed
