Real-Time Environmental Air Quality Monitoring MCERTS certified

Globally, there is an increasing awareness of environmental health, and the quality of the air we breathe. This awareness has put pressure on those generating pollutants, like fugitive emissions, to increase their monitoring, control and reporting activities.

The UK has some of the strictest laws in the world when it comes to the regulation of emissions released into the environment. For over half a century TSI has investigated, identified and provided performance measurement solutions that enable both industry and governments to monitor fugitive emissions. It’s always easy to make claims such as these but it’s a lot harder to prove it. We at TSI invest our resources in obtaining certifications that can independently verify the performance specifications we claim to make.

It’s our assessment that non-reference supplementary monitors should have an indicative certificate such as those issued by MCERTS or TÜV. This will ensure that the monitor will use a heated inlet to dry the sample prior to measurement and it will also specify the concentration range that it can operate within. TSI’s range of indicative monitors fall into the category “Near Reference” and as the name suggests get very close to the reference measurement. For PM2.5 accuracy is as high as 98% and we are happy to share our co-location test results with anyone who asks.    

TSI’s MCERTS certified DustTrak™ Environmental monitors are packaged in three convenient system configurations, each is fit for purpose dependent upon what mass fraction needs to be measured. We can measure PM10 or PM2.5 individually or simultaneously. This instrument is compatible with a variety of sensors to detect volatile organic compounds (VOCs), gases, wind speed and more.
