Air monitoring
Published over 13 years ago. See the latest and most current information on Air monitoring.
An old adage used to say “We are what we eat”. Nowadays however, it might be more important to say “We are what we breath”. With the increasing emissions in the atmosphere of dangerous particles, in urban and extra-urban areas, monitoring the quality of air has become more essential.
When talking about air quality in outdoor areas, the public usually needs to check and keep under control the particulates included in "Thin dust" commonly known as PM10, PM2.5 and PM1, whose sampling is regulated by UNI EN 12341 (PM 10) and UNI EN 14907 (PM2.5), on the European territory, and the US EPA Standard no. 40 cfr. Part 50. Zambelli (Italy) have created the ideal device to be used for this kind of sampling: the Explorer Plus.
Certified T.U.V. and equipped with sampling heads in compliance with all the three regulations, the sequential sampling system Explorer Plus has been devised to combine the lightness and comfort of a three module decomposable structure. This is combined with the reliability and efficiency of a sampler provided with a 6 m³/h rotary pump. The Explorer Plus is an automatic device with two interchangeable loaders (one empty and one with 16 cassette filters) and a supporting “double-jacket” flange to place the sampling heads on.
Other accessories, such as the Peltier cooling system, the conditioner complete with a small roof or the thermoresistance with thermoregulator (all listed on zambelli's website), make the Explorer Plus, fit for the most disparate places.
