Smiths Detection’s BioFlash shown to detect airborne COVID-19
Smiths Detection, a global leader in threat detection and security screening technologies, today reports that its BioFlash Biological Identifier is capable of detecting SARS-CoV-2 in the air following tests conducted by the United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID). The tests were performed using live SARS-CoV-2 virus in a Biosafety Level 3 containment area ...

Personal Biological Air Sampler
ARELCO ARC announces the availability of a new biological air sampler CIP10 M for individual or dedicated sampling. The micro organisms are collected on a liquid which is maintained in a rotating cup which generates a helicoidal air flowrate. The lab analysis (enumeration or identification technique) of the liquid determines micro biological air quality (bacteria, fungi, mould or endotoxin...) ...

ASTM D6552 - 06(2011) standard practice for controlling and characterizing errors in weighing collected aerosols
The weighing of collected aerosol is one of the most common and purportedly simple analytical procedures in both occupational and environmental atmospheric monitoring (for example, Test Method D4532 or D4096). Problems with measurement accuracy occur when the amount of material collected is small, owing both to balance inaccuracy and variation in the weight of that part of the sampling medium ...

Modern vehicles vs toxicology
Exhaust emissions — fuel alternatives and toxicology A lot of research followed by industrial innovations and stricter regulations have reduced urban pollution in many European cities. But the last few months have shown us what clean air really means and that we ought to do even better. Regulations, and development due to the regulations, have decreased vehicle emissions remarkably. Still ...

Material sectors criticise Government`s unachievable packaging recycling targets
Key figures across the recycled plastics, aluminium and wood industries have expressed their concerns over the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs proposed packaging recycling targets for 2020. Some sectors believe the Government’s targets are over-ambitious and need to be revised. They say more infrastructure and work on increasing the recovery rates of materials needs to be put ...

ASTM D6561 - 06(2011) standard test method for determination of aerosol monomeric and oligomeric hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDl) in air with (Methoxy-2–phenyl-1) Piperazine (MOPIP) in the workplace
HDI is mostly used in the preparation of paints. For the last ten years, the use of isocyanates and their industrial needs have been in constant growth. Diisocyanates and polyisocyanates are irritants to skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. They are recognized to cause respiratory allergic sensitization, asthmatic bronchitis, and acute respiratory intoxication (3-6). The American Conference of ...

Straightforward determination of anhydrosugars in aerosols
Metrohm presents a new method for the sensitive and robust routine determination of the «smoke markers» levoglucosan, mannosan and galactosan in aerosols. The method couples ion chromatography with a highly sensitive pulsed amperometric detector (IC-PAD) and provides a simple and less expensive alternative to GC/MS. As such, it facilitates research into the effects of biomass burning aerosols on ...

PILS-IC-VA: semi-continuous determination of anions, cations & heavy metals in aerosols
Metrohm presents PILS-IC-VA, a new instrumental approach coupling a Particle-Into-Liquid-Sampler (PILS) to a dual-channel ion chromatograph (IC) for measuring aerosol anions and cations and a voltammetric measuring stand (VA) to determine the heavy metals. PILS-IC-VA is a powerful tool to capture the short-term impacts of air pollution as it allows the near real-time determination of the aerosol ...

Urban Air Pollution – the latest publications using Coriolis Air Sampler
In 2016, the WHO (World Health Organization) declared that “More than 80% of people living in urban areas that monitor air pollution are exposed to air quality levels that exceed the WHO limits”. Several sources of air pollutant: from PM to bacteria In cities, the population is exposed to several pollution sources such as Primary Particulate Matter (PM2.5, PM10, and the like) or ...

Tracking down the menace in Mexico City smog
A new report by scientists who are part of the international MILAGRO Campaign indicates that some of the most harmful air pollution in Mexico City may not come from motor vehicles but instead originates with industrial sources – and that the culprit may be garbage incineration. The MILAGRO Campaign (Megacity Initiative: Local and Global Research Observations) monitored air quality in the Mexico ...

A Tale of Two Cities' Black Carbon Measurement
Advanced photoacoustic measurement of black carbon particles, using equipment available via UK-based Enviro Technology, has led to a better understanding of pollution in Los Angeles and Mexico City. PAX (Photoacoustic Extinctiometer) Black Carbon Monitors have been deployed to deliver a more accurate picture of daily black carbon trends in these two similarly densely-populated cities. The ...

Industry surveys reveal that SMEs may be disposing of waste incorrectly
The research set out to discover how well-informed Britain’s businesses are about their obligations under the Hazardous Waste Regulations (2005). It makes good business sense to manage waste in the right way, and this research has shown that while Britain’s business owners are keen to do their bit, they need more help to get it right. The survey asked 1,000 small and medium-sized ...

Why monitor dust in the workplace?
Almost any place of employment can present a potential threat to health and safety from airborne particulates and aerosols. It is important to note, however, that dust hazards are not necessarily visible to the human eye and that the finest particles can represent the greatest threat because of their ability to travel deepest into the lungs. Effective monitoring is therefore key to the ...

Environmentally Sound
On March 16, 2018, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed to add hazardous waste aerosol cans to the category of “universal wastes” regulated under the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) regulations, codified at Title 40 of the C.F.R., Part 273. 83 Fed. Reg. 11654. According to EPA, this action would benefit the many manufacturing facilities and ...
