Ambient Air Sampling Methods
Pollutants are nothing but any substance that may present in an atmosphere in such a concentration that it may harmful to surrounding, living organism or human being. Sampling and analysis of air pollutants is known as Air quality monitoring and it is major part of environmental monitoring. There are many advanced types of ambient air Sampling methods. we will learn here only which are most ...

Analyzing Stack Gas Semivolatiles, Using Supelpak-2 Adsorbents and Capillary GC (Modified Method 5, US EPA SW-846)
The demanding detection limits required for air sampling by Modified Method 5 (US EPA SW-846, Method 0010) necessitates extensive cleaning and meticulous handling of the adsorbent cartridge/trap during sampling and analysis. Supelpak-2 adsorbent is cleaned in accordance with and meets the purity criteria of EPA SW-846, Method 0010, for testing semivolatile emissions from incinerator stationary ...

Soil CO2 Flux Measurements -- Using the LI-8100 System to Collect Air Samples for Estimating Soil Trace Gas Flux
Air samples can be collected from the same air stream used to measure soil CO2 flux with the LI-8100 Automated Soil CO2 Flux System, for estimating the flux of trace gas, such as methane (CH4), ammonia (NH3), nitrous oxide (N2O), isotopic species, etc. This application note describes a simple method for obtaining air samples from the LI-8100 in the field. The concentration of the gas species for ...

Detection of Airborne Viruses in a Pediatrics Department Measured Using Real-Time qPCR Coupled to an Air-Sampling Filter Method
Children are vulnerable to viral infections. The study discussed in this article investigates the possibility of aerosol transmission of viruses in children under age 18 in the pediatrics department of a medical center in Taipei, Taiwan. After first using the filtration method to collect viral aerosols, the authors combined it with real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) to detect ...

Building Services Management - Air Sampling -
Untitled Document Maintenance professionals are often the first responders to mold complaints in their facilities. building occupants can be exposed to fungal (mold) spores through direct contact with contaminated uilding materials and contents. More commonly, exposure occurs by inhalation of spores found in reathable air spaces. Air monitoring or sampling may be a valuable ...

Ground Zero Air Quality Has A Long Way To Go! A Summary of Air Quality Testing in Surrounding Buildings
There are still a wide range of concerns about air quality in the vicinity of Ground Zero. Many commercial and residential spaces have yet to be re-occupied. In only a few cases has any sort of inspection or testing been done to determine if they are safe to occupy. The greatest concerns are asbestos and the very irritating concrete dust that spread throughout lower Manhattan during the collapse ...

Air Sampling During NPP Accident
There has been considerable interest recently generated regarding emergency air sampling protocols as a result of the Fukushima accident in Japan. A major concern involving air sampling requirements is the accurate determination of gaseous-radioactive iodine species emitted from the NPP to the environment as a result of an accident. During normal NPP operation gaseous radioactive iodine ...

Passive vs Active Sampling for Sensor-based Ambient Air Quality Monitoring
Air pollution with its cascading effects across the population has become a serious matter of concern. To address this air pollution problem, availability of accurate and reliable air quality data is crucial. The quality of air monitoring depends upon how the sample of air is collected and how it is analysed. This paper majorly focuses on passive vs active sampling for air quality monitoring. ...

Improve air sampling by measuring mass flow
How can contaminant concentration be stated unless the sample mass is known? The answer: it can’t. Without an accurate measure of the mass of air collected as a sample, the relative concentration of a contaminant—whether it be chemical or particulate—cannot be stated as a part per million, billion, or trillion. Even for sampling applications where the contamination is expressed ...

Hard to Find Filter Configurations
Announcing New Hard to Find Filters Filters have been the go-to method for sampling air in determining particulate contamination. Before I get into the “hard to find” filters, let us talk about filtration. The ideal filter should: be able to capture “everything” down to the nanometer; never plug; be free of the substance that you are measuring, down to nanograms; ...

SO2 Monitoring
SO2 monitoring is an efficient way to detect and reduce exposure to sulfur oxides which further benefits in reducing the formation of particulate sulfur pollutants like fine sulfate particles, acid rain, and smog. This article covers information on sulfur oxides, their sources, permissible levels in the ambient air, health and environmental impact, possible corrective measures, the need for ...
