TSI
Creates the Solution for Ultrafine Particle Monitoring
TSI Incorporated has developed the first real solution to monitoring how
ultrafine particles can affect our air quality. Ultrafine particles take
away more than our vision, they can affect our health as well. TSI offers
the solution: Model 3031 Ultrafine Particle Monitor - Simple, Long term,
maintenance free, remotely managed monitoring of ultrafine particles in
our air.
TSI Inc,
a worldwide leader in real-time particle measurements, announces the release
of its new ultrafine particle monitoring system. The Model 3031 Ultrafine
Particle (UFP) Monitor has been specifically designed for long-term, air
quality monitoring networks. The UFP Monitor constantly measures the size
distribution and number concentration of ultrafine particles between 20
to 500 nm, with six channels of size resolution. The UFP Monitor reports
the number concentration for each size channel every 10 minutes. All data
is buffered within the instrument, but can be accessed remotely via the
Internet or archived periodically as part of the normal routine of the
monitoring station.
Developed
under the auspices of European Union's UFIPOLNET project, the UFP Monitor
has demonstrated it is well suited for long-term, ultrafine particle monitoring.
Since the beginning of 2007, four UFP Monitors have been routinely monitoring
ultrafine particles in Stockholm, Dresden, Prague and Augsburg. These
instruments continue to provide valuable data about the temporal levels
of ultrafine particles and their sources. For more information on the
UFIPOLNET project, please visit www.ufipolnet.eu.
The Model
3031 UFP Monitor can be applied to long-term, unattended environmental
monitoring for road size measurements, urban air pollution research, epidemiology
studies, traffic monitoring and much more.
The key features
of the Model 3031 include:
Long-term,
unattended operation
Low start-up and operating costs
No working fluids; no radioactive source
Convenient data management with remote access via the Internet
Continuous measurements every 10 minutes
Optional environmental sampling system
