PM_TEN srl services

Monitoring of particulate matter; Planning, organization and administration of campaigns to collect samples of atmospheric particulate matter in urban, rural and remote sites with equipment especially designed to separate the fractions subject to European and national regulatory limits (PM10, PM2.5). Using `state of the art` collection systems such as inertial cascade impactor samplers or continuous multi-stage samplers to reconstruct the spatial and the temporal distribution of atmospheric particulate matter concentration. Measurement of particulate matter concentrations in conditioning room as defined by DL.vo 155/2010; preservation and handling of samples in a laminar flow hood. Monitoring of indoor air quality, especially in industrial environments; In particular the monitoring of the temporal trend of airborne particles number in different size classes.

Numerical simulations performed with mathematical models are now considered one of most important tool for the air quality analysis. We can provide a complete service in this field, where models are developed and used to produce results on statistical analysis based on historical archives of passed events as far as implemented to get operational forecasting tools and evaluate hypotetical future scenarios. Parameters characterizing the service are always defined in order to completely dress on customer needs and we are able to supply for a large range of demand, starting from global scale analysis, passing through intermediate regional scale, till reaching the very local scale, in urban areas where the effects of single stack emissions as far as single road emissions can be observed.

Our services concerning numerical modeling of both meteorological and marine fields are relative to simulations of atmospheric dynamics and ocean dynamics (waves and currents) by using state of the art modeling tools. The service features can be designed according to specific needs. They may include simulations on scales ranging from continental to local ones (up to a few hundred meters) both for forecasting purposes and for climatological analysis and/or reconstruction of past events.

The analytical methods available to the Company can address a variety of problems that require the knowledge of elemental, chemical or isotopic composition of a generic sample. In many cases, the analysis is completely non-destructive. The laboratory is supported by the expertise of PM_TEN researchers in several areas: environment, cultural heritage, materials science, radio-protection.
