About

• Principle of operation: Uses the principle of air impaction to capture particles as air is drawn into a sampling chamber.
• Components: Includes a compact, lightweight design with features like a battery-operated pump, a rotameter for flow rate control, and a digital timer.
• Sampling surface: Particles are collected on a collection surface, which can be a filter, membrane, or adhesive material.
• Portability: Designed to be compact and lightweight, often with a battery-powered pump for use in the field.
• Versatility: Can be used to sample various pollutants, including dust, gases like sulfur dioxide (
  

  SO2cap S cap O sub 2

  2
  ) and nitrogen oxides (
  

  NOxcap N cap O sub x
  ), and other particulates.
• Analysis: The collected dust can be analyzed using techniques such as gravimetric analysis, microscopy, or chemical analysis.

• Occupational Health and Safety: To monitor worker exposure to harmful substances in the workplace.
• Environmental Monitoring: To measure dust concentrations and pollutants in areas like urban centers, industrial zones, and construction sites.
• Indoor Air Quality: To assess and identify sources of pollution within homes, offices, and other buildings.
• Research and Development: Used by scientists to study the characteristics and health effects of airborne particles.
