At ILM's Air Quality and Emissions (AQE) event, Paul Firth of Tarmac Cement and Lime shared some of his experience measuring low particulate levels: the challenges, the solutions and what still needs to be understood. Click here to watch Paul's talk.

Topics include:

Issues with Standard Reference Methods at low particulate levels
Uncertainty and variability at low particulate levels
An alternative to regulation when calibration is impossible
Do certified attenuation gauges exist on the market that might be able to mitigate the variability of particulates?
