Based on the existing evidence of adverse health effects at low levels of exposure, WHO revised its AQG for PM in 2005 (1). For PM2.5, the new AQG values are 10 μg/m3 for the annual average and 25 μg/m3 for the 24-hour mean (not to be exceeded for more than 3 days/year). The corresponding guidelines for PM10 were set as 20 μg/m3 and 50 μg/m3.

Click here for more information. COLLEGE PARK, Md. – Increases in air pollution and other particulate matter in the atmosphere can strongly affect cloud development in ways that reduce precipitation in dry regions or seasons, while increasing rain, snowfall and the intensity of severe storms in wet regions or seasons, says a new study by a University of Maryland-led team of researchers. The research provides the first clear evidence of how ...

 The Met One Instruments, Inc. model ES-642 is a type of nephelometer which automatically measures real-time airborne PM10, PM2.5, or TSP particulate concentration levels using the principle of forward laser light scatter. Sample air is drawn into the ES-642 and through the laser optical module, where the particulate in the sample air stream scatters the laser light through reflective and refractive properties. This scattered light is collected onto a photodiode detector at a near-forward angle, and the resulting electronic signal is processed to determine a continuous, real-time measurement of airborne particulate mass concentrations.                                            ES-642 AMBIENT PARTICULATE MONITOR Applications include rail and roadside monitoring, schools and playgrounds, underground facilities, solar power installations, wind energy installations, f...

To our readers, I recently returned from Shanghai where my company, Met One Instruments, Inc. participated in a technology exchange with the Shanghai Academy of Environmental Sciences.  Along with Oregon's Governor, Dr. John Kitzhaber, we made a presentation of our EPA Reference Method Air Quality Monitor.  BAM-1020 PM 2.5. The BAM-1020 is a US manufactured particulate monitor that monitors particles in the range of PM10 and PM2.5.  The monitor presented to SAES will be one of the first PM2.5 monitors deployed in Shanghai. This was my fourth trip to Shanghai in the past 3 years and I was impressed by the number of blue sky days that I was able to experience.  (See Pics)  I noticed that surfaces of infrastructure (buildings, windows, railings, street lamps, etc...) were generally free of particulate fall out.  One afternoon, I spent a few hours wandering around Shanghai on a quest to find xiaolongbao and an electric bicycle dealer and had...

For accurate monitoring, the instrument shelter is just as important as the monitor itself.  Without a specified instrument shelter for a particular climate,  the monitor may not function as well.  Met One Instruments recommends shelters built to our specifications for optimum functioning of the BAM 1020.  Please contact sales@metone.com for more information on requirements for the optimum data collection of your BAM 1020 beta gauges.

Statement of Intent with Hong Kong Environmental Protection Department On Wednesday, October 26, at the EcoExpo Asia in Hong Kong, EPA will sign a Statement of Intent with the Hong Kong Environmental Protection Department (HK EPD) , outlining a strategy to expand regional cooperation, promote “low carbon, high technology and low pollution” communities, and expand capacity in environmental protection. This non-binding statement of intent signifies a key turning point in the relationship between the two agencies. Following the signing, the two agencies plan to develop a workplan that addresses EPA‘s Six Global Priorities. Joint activities will be based on shared priorities and lead to measurable environmental results for the U.S., Hong Kong, and other areas in the Asia-Pacific region. This is the first time the two agencies have agreed to integrate key regional initiatives to improve coordination and applify the results of regional collaboration. The stra...

The Clean Air Crusader John Culpepper, Lower Washington Heights Neighborhood Association "See that truck? See that smoke? That's what we're after!" John Culpepper has declared war on dirty air. His weapon: an E-Sampler Particulate Monitor, a portable device that measures PM 2.5--the tiny particles emitted by cars, trucks, buses, factories, power plants and construction sites. PM 2.5 works its way deep into the lungs, aggravating asthma and other respiratory problems. When neighborhood groups want to cut down on the sea of dust, they call John Culpepper. Culpepper, a retired sea merchant and executive director of the Lower Washington Heights Neighborhood Association, started looking into air quality in the mid-1990s, after he learned of the alarmingly high child asthma rates in his community. When the state and federal environmental agencies teamed up to install two dozen air monitoring devices around the city, Culpepper helped get one set up on West 182nd Stre...

Besides having the best I-5 side coffee and food from Eugene to Los Angeles, (believe me, I know) Sequential Biofuel is also sporting the World's first chanterelle mushroom and vegan reuben sandwich-powered Air Quality/ Meteorological monitoring station.  Yes, you heard that right.  Ok, I'm lying.  But you can buy a basket of locally foraged chanterelle mushrooms and a vegan reuben inside after sampling locally made Kombucha from the Kombucha bar.  This is a fuel station right?   Besides Autzen Stadium, this is one of my favorite places in Eugene.  We are currently monitoring for TSP (Total Suspended Particulates), Wind Speed, Wind Direction, Ambient temperature, relative humidity, barometric pressure, delicious organic hummus chips.  (oops lying again)!   Sequential Biofuels was an early participant in the Oregon Toxics Alliance's ( OTA) "No idle" program and early Air Quality/ particulate data  looks fantastic.  During the...
