What is the difference between A PM2.5 Monitor and a PM10 Monitor?

Ambient air particulate monitoring is of more interest than ever before. The reason is new public awareness of the health effects of small particles suspended in the air, in combination with increased vehicle fleets emitting such particles. “PM” stands for particulate matter. The number (usually 10 or 2.5) indicates the size of the particulates monitored. PM10 refers to particles ...

What are ultrafine particles, and how can you include size distributions and concentrations as part of routine air quality monitoring?

Ultrafine particles (UFP) are particles that are too small to contribute appreciably to mass-based measurements, but are present in ambient air. While regulations focus on PM and neglect ultrafine particle number concentrations, a growing body of ...

Size Selective Sampling Inlet

HI-Q Environmental Products Company’s High Volume PM-10 Size Selective Inlet samples suspended particulate in the air at a flow rate of 40 CFM through its omnidirectional head. The air is then accelerated through multiple internal nozzles toward a greased collection plate. Due to their larger momentum, particles greater than 10 microns cannot negotiate the air stream turn, thereby colliding ...
