Lineamientos metodológicos para la medición de la calidad del aire según el CFR 40 parte 50: análisis de su aplicación en laboratorios ambientales y estudios de impacto ambiental

Abstract

This study is based on identifying the importance of adopting the CFR 40 Part 50 methodology as a technical reference in monitoring programs and Environmental Impact Studies (EIS), offering consistency in the presentation of results and ensuring their traceability, reproducibility, and comparability. It provides, from an environmental engineering perspective, a quantitative and geospatial diagnosis of the installed laboratory capacity in Colombia, an assessment of methodological gaps in the ANLA's terms of reference, and a proposal for regulatory adjustment based on international technical reference standards, thus contributing to strengthening the technical robustness of environmental management decisions in the country.
