MET ONE INSTRUMENTS AT AWMA WORKSHOP ONTARIO, CANADA

The Topic:     REAL-TIME MONITORING OF PARTICULATE MATTER (DUST)  WORKSHOP ON CURRENT ISSUES AND CHALLENGES

The issue: The public is increasingly concerned and knowledgeable about the effects of respirable dust or particulate matter.  As a result, public and government agencies are looking to acquire real time data on activities that contribute to dust or particulate matter in the air we breathe.
If you are part of an air quality monitoring agency, construction firm, air consultant firm, network operators, industry association, research firm or a stakeholder organization involved activities that may create dust or particulate matter, this workshop will be of interest to you!

The Outline:    The Ontario Section of the AWMA, in concert with Environment Canada and the Ontario Ministry of the Environment, is hosting a one day technical workshop on the current issues and challenges with the real-time monitoring of dust or particulate matter (PM).
Real-time PM analyzers have been in use by monitoring agencies for a number of years but the data shows that measured PM concentrations can vary substantially between these analyzers.  This is due to difficulties in collecting representative particulate samples under a wide range of weather conditions as well as the physical and chemical properties of particulate matter.
Guest speakers from the US, Environment Canada, the Ontario Ministry of the Environment and other provincial agencies will discuss current issues and challenges facing the real-time monitoring of particulate matter, and provide insight into what the future holds. 
There will also be updates from instrument vendors on the status of current analyzers and exhibits of new products.
The Date:            Thursday, October 20th, 2011
The Location:    Four Points Sheraton, Toronto Airport
