Air pollution control (APC) equipments for fire laboratories

Fire laboratories perform different types of tests and experiments to analyze the characteristics of products and materials , when exposed to fire. Using these data , manufacturers can improve their products, fire resistance, and their longevity. Although the fire is controlled in a laboratory, many toxic substances are formed and these must be removed before the air is released into the environment. EnviBATs technology is extremely effective for this type of application. It eliminates the particles of all sizes,...

Air monitoring equipments for workplace and personal exposure monitoring

Many occupations involve the use of hazardous substances or processes, where pollutants may be ingested, inhaled or absorbed through the skin. General ambient pollutants can also have health implications in otherwise non-hazardous workplaces. Occupational exposure limits regulate many pollutants based on an eight-hour working day. Personal exposure assessments can be made over an eight-hour period (Time Weighted Average (TWA) exposure) using our simple to use monitoring equipment.

Air quality and industrial gas monitoring systems for Ambient air monitoring

Ambient air quality monitoring is the systematic, long-term assessment of pollutant levels by measuring the concentration and types of certain pollutants in the surrounding, outdoor air. Some of these pollutants (commonly called ‘Criteria Pollutants’) are considered hazardous to human health and their levels are regulated by government agencies around the world, including the US EPA. Teledyne API provides a complete line of ambient air quality monitoring instruments, including those for both gas and...

Ambient air monitoring by FID detection – airmoVOC BTEX

Urban pollution is a problem that concerns more and more people in charge of public health. In large cities, car emissions are an important source of atmospheric pollution. This problem is growing as the traffic keeps on increasing. BTEX compounds are present in car emissions. It is therefore important to be able to analyze them with short analysis cycle duration and on a continuous and automatic way.

Air purification system for Transportation industry

Ironically, transit facilities such as airports, bus stations, and train stations are threatened by vehicle exhaust, road dust, crowds of people, and high levels of traffic. The soot from diesel exhausts consists of tiny particles that get caught in lungs and can cause health problems. Partially burned fuels contain carcinogenic hydrocarbons. Inside airports, for example, there are food courts, round-the-clock cleaning operations, and outside air pollution entering with the ventilation air. Some airports have...

Measurement solution for medical workplace monitoring

In taking a responsible stance on the exposure of workers to any potential hazardous gases, there is a need for workplaces using anaesthetic gases, such as hospital operating rooms or research laboratories, to control the level of waste anaesthetic gas in the ambient air. Anaesthesia machines, ventilators, breathing systems and waste gas scavenging systems will all contribute to te background level of he anaesthetic gases that are present in the environment within a facility, whether those machines are in a good...

Air quality and industrial gas monitoring systems for Road side air monitoring

Motor vehicle emissions are a major source of air pollution in urban areas and impact the lives of billions of people every day around the world. Motor vehicle exhaust contains toxic chemicals that are harmful to people’s health when exposed at certain levels. These toxic fumes cause smog in the atmosphere, which can affect very broad regional air sheds and contribute to the formation of cancer. Teledyne API has several products specifically designed to meet the challenging demands of near-roadside air...

Opacity monitoring for continuous emissions

The history of air pollution regulation dates back as far as the 13th century when in 1273, Edward I (Longshanks) of England prohibited the burning of sea coal in London. The smoke produced by its combustion was considered detrimental to human health. By the late 19th and early 20th centuries, regulations were being passed that sought to control air pollution predominantly for smoke and odour control. Traditionally, regulators were concerned with the visual impact of the discharge from a stack or chimney. Therefore...
